These are 1/4 pound bags of black lip mother of pearl shell pieces.
As this is a natural product, you will receive shells very close to the ones shown, but not the exact shells in the photographs.
Satin Pieces are tumbled to a polished finish. The satin finish pieces are good quality shell pieces that tend to be thicker than the gloss finish shells. They are processed with cream and corn grit.
Some pieces will be very nicely tumbled and polished. Some will have rougher edges. Some quantity will have chips or be broken. We are not selling the shell as flawless, individually packaged pieces.
There are many uses for the tumbled pieces. They are great for inlay work. They can be put in the bottom of an aquarium or fountain for decoration. They can also be used for jewelry.
A USFWS export permit is required for all shipments outside the USA.
