November 30, 2017. These rare, Philippine seashells are called epitonium scalare, a.k.a."The Precious Wentletraps". They are prized not only by shell collectors but also by mages, who call them "suso" ("snails") and use in them in pairs as amulets because of their external, white spirals. These shells are very brittle and difficult to find undamaged.
