Super rare to find and absolutely stunning, the Strawberry Top Sea Shells are one of our favorites and it belongs in your collection. They are small sea snails, also known as Clanculus puniceus; small, robust shells are wide-conical, low-spired, and have a granulated coral red surface, with a pattern of small black and white dots. In shape, size, color, and sculpture, the shell of this species is reminiscent of that of a small strawberry, hence the common name. They range from 1/2" - 3/4" (13-22 mm) and are just so delicate and beautiful with a pearly finish (nacre) on the inside.

These tiny little beauties hail from the Indian Ocean off Madagascar, the Mascarene Basin, Mozambique, KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa), and Tanzania.[1]
