Pristine Condition Shiva shell is a natural gem which comes from the shell of the turban snail, particularly the tapestry turban snail. It acts for protecting the creature from threats and maintaining moisture levels. Shiva shell is made of calcium carbonate. Eventually, it falls from the shell and lands in the seabed, where it is collected. The Shiva shell is typically found in tropical lands such as Thailand and Indonesia, particularly in shallow waters. As with any gemstone, it is important that the Shiva shell is cared for properly to ensure quality and appearance and maintained. As the shell is very delicate, extra care is required to ensure it stays in the best possible condition, and so it is vital that you are gentle to avoid scratches or breakages. Shiva Shell is also referred to as Pacific Cat's Eye.
