Description

They’re back and from 15 cms to over 50 cms.   This one is 50 cms to 55 cms. Please e mail info@dorsetgifts.com if you want smaller ones and we can send you over some pics..These can actually grow to 70 cms off the Australian coast, eastern Indonesia and Papua New Guineau.  These are predatory  and feed off worms. Their attractive shape make them very collectable and we get batches once a year.  Indigenous Australians use these for water containers and a musical instrument – we are not sure if any rock bands have had a number one playing them though. If you have a clam in your seashell collection you probably should have one of these alongside.
