Spurred turban shells wholesale for small hermit crab shells, astrea calcar, measuring approximately 3/4 inch to 1-1/2 inch. Calcar means spur; the outer shell has a spiral of blunt bumps and spikes. The spurred turban is used for small hermit crab shells and is usually encrusted and thus well camouflaged on the rocks. Shell opening is smooth and pearly shell is thick, flattened conical shape . The small, chalky operculum is hemi-spherical and has a smooth glossy surface. These are found in the IndoPacific Region.

Our shells are commercial grade. All seashells sold in bulk, by the gallon and by the kilo will contain some unusable shells and there will be a little gravel in the bags!
