Dentalium

Dentalium Aprinum is a green shell that is nicely ridged and delicately curved. It measures roughly 2.25" to 2.75" long and is sold by the piece.

These are real Dentalium longitrorsum shells. This is a smooth, white shell with a slight curve and circular opening at both ends. The shells are 1.5" to 2.5" (4.5 to 6.5 cm) long measured along the curve. We do not do further sorting by size or grade. You will not receive the exact shells from the photos but something very similar.
