Turkey Wing Shells, Zebra Ark Arca zebra Natural Florida Seashells, 1–3 Inch, 10 Pieces

Natural Turkey Wing shells, also known as Zebra Ark shells (Arca zebra), hand-collected empty along the Florida coast. These distinctive half shells feature layered caramel-brown, cream, and ivory markings with deeply textured ridges and natural undulations that give each shell its own beautiful pattern.

Each set includes 10 assorted shells ranging from approximately 1–3 inches long. They are washed and left natural with no lacquer or added finish, preserving the organic texture and ocean-worn character of the shell.

Beautiful for jewelry making, shell art, coastal décor, beach weddings, shell mirrors, ornaments, vase fillers, and mixed-media projects, Turkey Wing shells are especially well suited to coastal, nautical, fisherman aesthetic, beachcomber, and nature-inspired designs. Custom drilling is also available for makers who would like to use these shells as pendants, connectors, or charm components.
