When ringtop cowry shells are treated with acid, the yellow is removed and the purple color underneath is revealed. These are 1-kilogram bags of undrilled purple ringtop cowry shells. The shells are approximately 5/8" to 3/4" long. There are approximately 744 shells per 1-kilogram bag. One kilo is equivalent to 2.20 pounds.
You will not receive the exact shells from the photos but ones similar. There is quite a bit of variety in the shells as you can see from the photos.
They can be used for a variety of crafts and jewelry.
