We are deeply committed to sustainable and ethical practices. All our shells are sourced responsibly—never from live-shelled creatures. We support marine conservation efforts and maintain transparency about our sourcing practices.
The Ramose Murex grows one of the most complex spine structures of any marine snail, designed to deter predators and anchor the shell among coral.
When center-cut, the shell reveals growth layers formed over many years, similar to tree rings—each layer marking a stage of the snail’s life.
