This is a polished Shankha shell, a collectible item.
As a collectible, this is a rare item.
It is a shell used as a ritual object in Hinduism, and it is said that a hole is made in the top part to be used as a conch trumpet. It is an auspicious item, so
why not consider it? I would like to pass it on to someone who will cherish it.

A gastropod mollusk belonging to the family Turbinidae. It is distributed along the west coast of India and Sri Lanka. The overall shape is a short spindle. The shell is white, but when alive, it is covered with a thick olive-colored periostracum. The aperture is a slightly narrow spindle shape with folds on the columella. It is revered as a sacred shell in Hinduism, and images of the god Vishnu are always depicted holding this shell.
There is a belief that water drawn with this shell brings miraculous healing of diseases. Also, because the shell is thick, it is cut into rings and used for accessories.

The actual item being sent is photographed, so please check the condition in the photos.

Although it is beautiful, it is listed as slightly dirty due to being a natural object.
