Cat’s Eye shells and where they’re from

The “Smooth Moon Turban” snail is a simple creature common in the tidepools. These beautiful spiral pearls specifically come from the snail’s Epiphragm, a door of sorts, protecting the snail’s interior from exterior dry environments.

 My mother used to collect these types of shells when she was younger.
