Blood Olive - Oliva reticulata

Blood Olive (Oliva reticulata)
An exquisite, heavy-bodied olive shell wrapped in a dense, network-like pattern of fine reddish-brown lines. The sleek, cylindrical form has a beautifully smooth, satisfying weight in the hand.

These shells are vintage shop stock from a coastal gift shop that closed in the 1980s. They have been stored for decades and are not recent imports.

Each shell is a unique natural specimen, lightly conditioned to highlight its rich, authentic colours and surface patterns. Rather than photographed individually, we will carefully select a shell for you from the chosen size range, ensuring excellent colour and overall quality.
