Description
Giant Clam Shell 22 Inch White Gray Clamshell Seashell is a beautiful reproduction clam shell measuring an immense twenty-two inches across. This enormous seashell is hand painted, hand cast from a real giant clamshell mold, the clam shell is oven fired from ultra hard plaster (seriously rock hard), and each handmade clamshell takes 4 weeks to make from start to finish. This Clam Shell has Beautiful Grey and White Coloring, features realistic-looking barnacles cast on the outside of the shell and looks and feels just like a genuine giant clam shell from a giant clam, also known as Tridacna gigas. The giant clam has been misunderstood in times past as if often the case with uncharacteristically large species (giant clams were once called killer clams or man-eating clams, and older versions of the U.S. Navy Diving Manual even included detailed instructions for freeing oneself from is grasp)! Today giant clams are found in shallow coral reefs of the South Pacific and Indian ocea.
