The harpa shells are very pretty with all the lines and ribs and, these are trimmed to fit perfect into lamp making. These are large, running a little over 3 inches tall and a little over 2 1/2 inches wide with back edges trimmed. Sold by each and each shell is handpicked by me.
Harpa articularis, common name the articulate harp shell, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Harpidae, the harp snails. This species occurs in the Indian Ocean off the Mascarene Basin to the West Pacific, as far as Fiji; also off Australia (Northern Territory, Queensland, Western Australia). The rather thin shell is ovate and ventricose. The spire is conical, indistinctly muricated. The ribs are pretty narrow, distant and slightly flattened. They are marked by transverse brown lines, articulated and winding like light festoons. Between these lines appear white and violet spots. The interstices between the ribs are grayish. The longitudinal waved lines which are there seen, are strongly arched, and very contiguous to each other. They form species of transverse bands, at the origin of which exists a triangular brown chestnut-colored spot.
They‘re commonly used in shell crafts, making shell mirrors, shell lamps, seashell ornaments, shell candles, shell art, and numerous shell craft products. They will look absolutely amazing for a beach wedding!
