About the Item

A beautiful natural specimen, Charonia is a genus of very large sea snail, commonly known as Triton's trumpet or Triton snail. They are marine gastropod mollusks in the monotypic family Charoniidae. This species has a wide distribution, it has been found in European waters, the Mediterranean Sea, in the Atlantic Ocean along Cape Verde, off the Canary Islands, North West Africa, and Tanzania, in the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, and from North Carolina to eastern Brazil. Buy this Trumpet Triton for use as a dinner party conversation piece and then present it to the most beautiful or interesting woman or man at the table! Suffice to say, these probably are the most spectacular and sought after shells you can buy. We believe these tritons could also become restricted over the next few years in which case the price is likely to go up. Go on....... buy one of the world's most beautiful shells. Measures: Length 6 in x width 2.75 in x height 2.25 in.
