Magpie Polished 2"-2.5" Shell

The Magpie Shell, scientifically known as Cittarium Pica or West Indian Top, is a stunning marine gastropod native to Caribbean waters. Prized for its distinctive spiral form and natural coloring, this polished 2"–2.5" specimen makes an elegant addition to coastal décor, shell collections, and vase arrangements.

Historically a vital food source across the Caribbean, including Bermuda, the Magpie Shell has faced pressure from overharvesting. Conservation efforts—such as reproductive season closures and minimum harvest size regulations in the US Virgin Islands—now protect these remarkable snails and support sustainable populations for future generations.

Each shell is a natural treasure, carrying the character and texture of the sea. Perfect for nautical displays, tabletop arrangements, and gift-giving.
