This picture does not do justice to these shells' luminescence. Honestly they beam gently as if hit by moonlight. They are from Tasmania and very rare these days. Nowadays the native artists who make these necklaces certify each one. But I inherited these from my Aunt Olive who got them from her great friend Clippy who probably got them when she went on a world tour in the '20's. The green shells are so fragile now that I don't want to wear them except to my son's graduation or wedding. I wish I could show you how absolutely lovely these shells are; they just glow and are undyed. They are also know as Maireener Irridescent shells.
