Size: 90 - 140mm (up to 160mm) Origin: Thailand to India and possibly Arabia A strain with a rich history. This used to be one of the shells most sought after. They were rarely found and offered on the market. Later it turned out that the inhabitants of Thailand were fishing for these shells by the thousands. Now you can buy a copy in good condition for a few euros. There are small differences between the typical Thai shells and the Indian shells. Both are shown here, Thai copy on photo 1 and Indian on photo 2
