Background:
Commonly known as turbos or turbans, these abundant shells are part of the Turbinidae family of marine gastropods found in Indo-Pacific seas. These shells are frequently polished to remove the outer green layer to reveal an inner iridescent layer of Mother of Pearl and subsequently sold as Pearl Silvermouth shells.
