***Copied from Google: "Conus textile's common name, the "Textile Cone" or the "Cloth of Gold Cone" is a venomous species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the Conidae family. Like all species within the genus Conus, these snails are predatory & venomous. They are capable of stinging humans, therefore, live ones should be handled carefully or not at all. The conotoxin of this species is extremely dangerous to humans. Several human deaths have been attributed to this particular species."
