~ False Quahog Shells ~ 500 ~ White & Purple ~ Shellcraft~ Sailor's Valentines ~

Description

Offered for immediate purchase . . .
. . . is a packet containing five hundred (500) *MICRO*
~
Natural White & Purple False Quahog Shells
~
measuring from approximately a sixteenth of an inch (1/16") to approximately an eighth of an inch (1/8"), or approximately a millimeter (1mm) across and up to three millimeters (3mm) across.  These tiny (micro) shells are very similar in size and shape as the Gem Shells I sell, but these have no shades of beige or tan in them ~ these shells are predominantly White with a speck of Purple just inside the hinge area.  This is new stock (not vintage), which has been sorted to remove any “shell trash” and broken shells.
The shells in each package will be whole, with no dust or broken shells or shells with holes in them.
These shells can be used as-is in your shell art to provide a variety of natural colors; or, since they are natural shells, you can dye them whatever pretty shades you desire.  These shells make tiny beautiful and dainty seashell flowers, and will undoubtedly add pretty (and envied!) accents in all your shell art projects, whether in a miniature floral bouquet, in a Sailor's Valentine, or, especially because of their tiny size, in a pocket watch Sailor's Valentine!

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ONLY TO CANADA
***
Due to the US post office inability to track shipments beyond the US border (Canada is the only exception currently), and especially due to the fact eBay holds its Sellers financially responsible for international shipments proven to have left the US but not delivered by international customs or post offices, I offer my sincere apologies for no longer being able to sell to international locations (other than Canada).
The financial risk to me has proven to be too great.
Please feel welcome to contact me with any questions.
