Green Turban Snail
The majestic Green Turban Snails (Turbo Marmoratus) are found in the tropical oceans around Japan and the Pacific; the different natural environments creating unique characteristics. The shell of this large sea snail features a lustrous white pearly nacre with hints of greens and pinks.
Luméa Green Turban shells are collected by local free divers from coral reefs. Although they can be easy to spot, due to their size and weight, it requires great skill and strength to dislodge and get them to the surface.
Due to their significant size, these shells are often polished in their whole form for trophy type ornaments, or used for its pearlescent qualities as inlay in furniture, complementing dark natural woods.
South African Abalone
South African Abalone, known locally as perlemoen, is a marine snail native to South Africa’s coast. It lives in shallow, rocky waters and has a broad, flattened shell with a row of small holes along one edge.
The textured outer shell gives way to a smooth, iridescent lining of mother of pearl. Its natural sheen shifts as it catches the light, bringing depth and lustre to jewellery, decorative inlays and shell craft.
