Every shell is ethically collected, meaning I carefully make sure each shell is completely unoccupied before bringing it home. The shell has been cleaned, lightly bleached to remove odor, and treated with Acid Magic to help enhance its natural beauty. This shell has been individually inspected and selected for its exceptional quality, coloring, and overall appearance.
