It was intense for more ways than one. A spider conch, a spindle and an auger all in a days walk down the beach Disclaimer: I did not keep all of these. #shell #shells #shelling #beach #ocean

it’s insanely stunning #shells #fiji

Nature has a way of making the deadly so enticing. The banded marble cone is one of the three Hawaiian cone shells with venom that can be fatal to humans. 🐚 Empty shells only. While the mollusks that make these shells are venomous and (while rare) can sting you, their shells are not poisonous to the touch. I exercise caution when handling the shells to ensure they are empty. There are many signs that indicate a shell is empty including most commonly that it is surf tumbled and has rocks in its opening (as shown in this video). This may not always be visible from the camera angles, but I am certain each shell is empty before I put them in my bag. To inspect a shell, I always pick it up from the wide part of the cone and not the narrow opening. • • • • • #girlsthatfreedive #mermaidlife #ocean #hawaii #shells

Most people would walk right past this shell on the beach…but all it needed was a little love! 🩵🐚 This is a California wavy turban snail, one of the most common shells on Southern California’s rocky beaches. But underneath years of buildup is beautiful iridescent nacre. Here’s exactly how I reveal it. Save this for your next beach find.

Did you know most shells have a hidden rainbow layer? It’s called nacre (mother of pearl), the same material pearls are made from! It forms in microscopic layers that reflect light, creating that natural iridescence. #motherofpearl #nacre #iridescent #seashells #shelling #shell #shells #beachcombing #oceanfinds #sealife #explore #ocean #naturalbeauty #sea #nature #beaches #lowtide #storm #beaches #outdoors #perfect #california
