These highly polished turbo shells are beautiful decorative shells. We carry two kinds: the Turbo imperialis, which has a more pronounced spiral tip like a snail, and the Turbo sarmaticus, which is flatter. They come in two styles: natural polish and dyed copper polish.
These shells are natural products so their sizes will vary. The measurements below are approximate and are measured from the opening across the shell length-wise.
Also commonly known as alikrekel, periwinkel, and maggi pie.
