Spiny Murex Shells

Muricidae

Sculptural shells with a stepped spire, a rounded body and bold ridges that flare into long spines and delicate frilled fringes. The exterior ranges from clean chalk white to warm cream, often banded with soft apricot and orange tones, while the wide, smooth opening is tinged with peach and blush pink. Each shell is cleaned and sorted by size, and spine shape, density and colour vary naturally from piece to piece. Their dramatic, coral-like form suits shelf and tabletop displays, collector sets, shadow boxes, aquarium décor, and coastal interiors. Spines are delicate, so shells are carefully wrapped for shipping.
