As I go through my mother's collection, I am learning how to identify shells, I am by no means an expert. Please look at pictures and determine if my identification is correct or not. Even though I use AI and various research tools, I cannot guarantee that my identification is correct.

These come from my mother's shell collection. Over the years, she collected shells in Panama, California, Mexico, Alabama, Florida, etc. Unfortunately, I have no way of knowing the origin of these specific shells.

This item comes from a smoke-free home.

Sold As Is - pictures provided to show the quality and condition of the lot. Feel free to request more if needed.

Whenever possible, we reuse boxes and packing material. Recycling is important to us.

Please consider adding me to your saved sellers if you are a lover of shells or shell crafts. Check back often for more vintage shells listed. I am slowly going through my mom's collection to figure which ones to sell and which ones to keep.

Though my mother passed away a while ago, I am still combing through her estate. Dementia was the primary factor in her passing. My mother was a consummate environmentalist and hated the thought of our landfills being filled or our oceans being polluted. That is why for many things I have decided to sell instead of donate. With this choice, I know they find their place in the home of someone who wants it, not in a landfill. With her items, I donate a minimum of 20% of each sale to organizations that research a dementia cure and support caregivers of dementia patients or any organization that supports the health of our oceans ( She was a lover of marine biology and scuba diving) Each listing may support a different organization.
