Have you ever seen a shell this dark? 😍⬇️ . Check out this stunning Kings Crown Conch I found this past weekend! . I have never seen one this dark before, let alone dark and empty! Seashells tend to be more vibrantly colored while the mollusk is still alive. This is due to the mollusk's diet. Once the mollusk dies, the color tends to fade, so this one must have been recent 🥲 . Have you seen a shell like this? Let me know in the comments and share with a 🐚 friend! . . . #shells #shelling #conc
