The outer shell has been removed from these Purple Cowrie shells. Each shell is approximately 15 mm wide x 19 mm long x 10mm thick with one 1.5mm hole drilled on one end.
The Tiger Cowry, also known as the Purple Cowrie feeds on polyps on coral reefs. It is most commonly found under the coral rocks in the Indo-Pacific region and also around the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. The exterior of the shell is smooth and polished because of the covering that the animal has, called a mantle, that wraps around the entire shell.
It gets the name Tiger Cowrie because the outer shell is brown and black spotted similar to a tiger’s stripes, but the Purple resides in a lower layer. To reach the purple of the shell, they are dipped into an acidic formula.

I love my cowrie shells! Purple is my favorite color so it's wonderful to be able to work with these. I've had no issue with them. I will be ordering again as needed. Thank you for the speedy service.
Great shells! Very pretty colors. I have a lot of cowrie shells already but none such as these nor drilled and they will work well for my project. Arrived quite quickly too. Very happy with my purchase...thank you so much!!
