Conus marmoreus is the Latin name for the Marble Cone.  This distinctive shell from the Indo-Pacific region has a large black and white reticulated pattern that spirals around the top of the shell and down the sides.  A comfortable shell to use as a knob or pull with its 1 ½” diameter size.  This shell will make a statement in any home.  Knobs and pulls are sold in pairs.  Empty seashells are made into strong knobs, pulls, and tableware. These decorative fittings are of high quality and resistant to tension and torsion.  Being made from shells found in nature means that each shell is unique.  Coloration and patterns will vary slightly between shells of the same species.  Main patents: Europe 09369960, USA 6351873
