Polished Green Turbo Shells

Turbinidae

Heavy, rounded shells with a low spire and a broad, smooth body, polished to reveal a deep, pearly nacre that shimmers in pink, blue, gold and soft cream as the light moves. Bold bands of jade and emerald green wind around the whorls, and some shells are polished to a pure pearl-white finish. The wide opening is lined with glossy, creamy nacre. Natural unpolished shells with a rugged, knobbed surface are also available. Each shell is cleaned and sorted by size, and colour and banding vary naturally from piece to piece. Their rich iridescence suits shelf and tabletop displays, collector sets, aquarium décor, jewellery and inlay work, and coastal interiors.
