Meet the Florida Penshell, a jaw-dropping mollusk native to the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. Its fan-shaped shell is an absolute showstopper, coveted by shell-seekers and collectors worldwide.
The shell's surface is delicate and smooth to the touch, with a mesmerizing iridescence that shifts in color from blues and greens to pinks and purples depending on the lighting. The inside of the shell is equally stunning, with a lustrous cream or white finish.
If you're lucky enough to snag a group of these beauties, you're in for an eye-catching display that's perfect for any decor or learning environment. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these shells play a vital role in the marine ecosystem as filter feeders, keeping the waters of the Gulf and Caribbean healthy and thriving. Wild Aura Ocean is a unique store, which is a collaboration between @Florida_Shelling and @OwlsNestCrystals. You can witness the incredible transformation of the pieces sold in the store on Youtube, from their initial dusty and crusty state to being expertly hand cleaned through a rigorous three-step process. The pieces are then possibly hand altered, hand sorted and professionally photographed to showcase their natural beauty. It's truly amazing to see how these treasures are transformed into the stunning pieces that are available here.
