Add a bold, organic touch to your coastal décor with this striking vintage Black Murex shell (Hexaplex nigritus), hand-collected from the Sea of Cortez in the 1970s. Known for its dramatic spines and dark ridged exterior, this natural specimen displays gorgeous weathering from decades of ocean exposure, giving it an authentic, timeworn patina.
The shell's rugged, gothic texture and subdued mineral tones make it a perfect accent for beach house mantels, bohemian coastal vignettes, or natural history-inspired displays. Its natural beauty also makes it an ideal styling object for photography, flat lays, or cabinet-of-curiosities shelves.
