Large Antique All-Natural Turbo Marmoratus Mother of Pearl Seashell. Rare Find

This is a rare, one-of-a-kind, all-natural, genuine Mother of Pearl Turbo Marmoratus seashell. This Marmoratus is part of a private family collection and has been owned by the same family for more than 75 years. There were three Marmoratus seashells in the family collection. This is the second of the three.

I plan to offer the third Marmoratus for sale later this year. As you can see in the photos, the seashell displays magnificent rainbow colors and is in its perfect natural shape. Also, as you can see in the photographs, there is a small chip on the inside of the Marmoratus. The chip does not show on the outside of the shell.

The micro worm bore holes are part of the natural growth evolution of the shell. These large Turbo snails inhabit tropical reefs in the areas of the Indian and western Pacific Oceans. The seashell measures approximately 6 ¼ inches wide x 5 ½ inches deep x 3 ½ inches in height. This is the actual shell you will receive. This is a must-own for collectors. This Mother of Pearl Turbo Marmoratus makes a beautiful addition to a coffee table collection of your favorite personal statement pieces.
