Cowrie Shells

Cowrie Shells have grown in Western popularity in recent years, but throughout history they have always played a pivotal role in many African cultures. This small, white shell resembling porcelain was used as currency in the ancient world; today it is used mainly as jewelry. Magically, they are believed to provide protection, and luck to its wearer. It is also used in many spiritual practices throughout the magical community.

Sizes may vary. Most shells are less than half an inch long.
