Very Rare Perfect !

Our shells have a much larger lip than other dealers because they are cared for from the time of Harvest.
And we clean and polish every shell. They are never coated with anything. Just buffed to a high polish
We trim the horns on the conch shells so they stand up and can hold water and flowers. (Aminor adjustment)
No one else does this for you. Many conch cannot stand without trimming the length of the feet
We know what you want them for and we make them perfect !
These sea shells have all of their original vivid colors from nature and the sea
These are fresh fished shells and have not been in some warehouse for years !
Wonderful sea shell decorations as centerpieces for weddings and the home

Shells are sold without flowers so you can select fresh flowers of your choice !
The best and cheapest way is buy your flowers and cut to the length you want and then use a small plastic
bag with water and a rubber band on their ends ! Then some small pieces of clear packing tape to get them to stand perfectly

We only sell nice shells. This is a promise
When conch are taken from the sea they have a lovely
beautiful large adult lip that is always broken by other dealers
So shamefully it becomes ground down to something much less impressive
Our shells are all collected by old Caribbean friends. And they care for these shells all
the way after harvest until they are delivered here in Florida. Then our work begins. Conch
come from the sea in a fright full state. The edge of the shells are like Paul Bunyans north woods
tree cutting saw. And they are covered with all kinds of growth, barnacles, and other small shells.
We clean and trim and leave as much of the large beautiful sea shell lip as possible
Much more than any other dealer
And we leave the other small seashells attached whenever possible
You will definitely see the difference in our conch
I grew up with conch and I began fishing them at an early age
I know how lovely conch can be and I know how poorly they are sold in this country
People in North America have never seen conch like we sell. This is a promise
We do take pride in our work and so does mother nature with our help

You can find conch shells offered for less money but you will save nothing if want a nice
presentation shell. We also take care that each shell has a footing so it can be
a display shell perhaps with water and flowers ( so they do not just roll over )
Unless you have a shop, tools and experience
you will never recover most conch sold by other dealers today !

Conch Shell and Other Seashells Cleaning at home
If you want to clean Seashells we have perfected the method
Mix together one Third Bleach to Two Thirds Water
in a container large enough to completely submerge your shell.
You cannot use synthetic or color safe bleach to do this job.
Lower the shell pointy tip down into the bleach so the water gets all of the way in to the very tip
You do not want to create an air pocket by lowering the shell in sideways
Allow the Shell to soak for 48 hours only ! No More
Then your shell will be very bright clean & sanitized
Then you will need to trim the edges and feet to a pleasing shape
After grinding get some 220 grit sandpaper and smooth out any grinding marks
Finally you will want to buff the shell with a white medium grit jewelers rouge to a nice shine
Be careful not to get the shell hot anywhere with the buffing wheel
That can cause bubbles to Grow under the shells shiny surface

If your shell still has a live animal inside freeze the shell completely overnight
Then in the morning thaw the shell completely and gently pull the animal out

Do not I repeat do not boil or microwave your shell. All shells have bubbles of air between the layers of the shell that will expand and ruin your shell !

The price of conch shells was lower when the United States was still importing conch from Haiti
Now the U.S. Fish and Game people have put Haiti on the extreme over fished list
Haiti is the poorest economic zone in the western hemisphere so the labor cost was very low
Conch require quite a lot of work to fish and clean. And they are heavy shells to ship
Haiti's over fished status is estimated to continue indefinitely
Not allowing export of the shells does not mean they will not continue to fish for needed meat
So in the end our wisdom has only deprived the Haitians one more source of income
But what else can be done ? There are many conch in other parts of the Caribbean fished legally
So we pay modern wages for the cleaning and controlled fishing of these wonderful shells
This is good for everyone and the conch !
Life goes on and the mighty conch does as well ! Unless conch are discovered in China by Wal-mart ?
