Only a small percentage of this mussel shell has a radiant pink color and is gathered by divers. The pieces vary in size and shape. Average size of the shell pieces is 1/4" to 1" (6 to 25 mm). The back of each card gives a description of the pink mussel shell.
There are many uses for the tumbled pieces. They are great for inlay work. They can be put in the bottom of an aquarium or fountain for decoration. They can be used for jewelry. Some pieces have the natural holes found on the edge of the shell and are nice on jewelry or leather bags. You will need to drill the shell under water. Do not breathe shell dust. This is very hard on your lungs.
