Common Delphinula / Dolphin Shell (Angaria delphinus) A rugged and heavily structured shell characterized by its dramatic, sculptural rows of prominent, hollow spines and ridges. The naturally dark, earthy exterior stands in stark contrast to the brilliant, iridescent layer of mother-of-pearl (nacre) lining the interior aperture.
Each shell comes complete with an identification label.
Available in the following size ranges:
3 to 4cm 4cm+
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.
