Turbo Petholatus is the Latin name for the shell known as the Tapestry Turbo.  This shell has the familiar Turbo shape, but its coloration is rich with deep red, brown, and oranges in a pleasing spiral pattern.  At approximately 1 ½” this shell makes a comfortable knob to accent your 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
