Harvested in the Sea of Cortez circa 1970, this substantial natural specimen features deep ribbed texture, a warm peach-toned aperture, and creamy ivory tones with natural sand patina from age and time spent at sea.

Whether styled on a coastal mantel, displayed in a glass cloche, or placed on a bookshelf for organic texture, this piece makes an excellent addition to beach cottage, modern coastal, or naturalist-inspired interiors.

Please note: As with all natural items, slight imperfections and irregularities add to the authenticity and unique character of the piece.
