Large Black Murex Shell

£3.95

One of our favourites and sufficiently popular to have their own wooden apple box outside our shop from where customers choose their favourites. Currently these are coming in at minimum of 8 cms. Used by the ancient Greeks and Romans for the manufacture of purple dye! It commanded a  very high price so was only used by the nobility or the church. A spindly shell and one to adorn any serious seashell collection. Please call 07711247762 for bulk quotes or for larger black murex seashells. All our seashells are governed by CITES and legally already here in the UK with certifications if needed. Seashells dispatched to UK from abroad potentially need certification .
