Where do all the shells come from?
Have you ever been on a beach with hundreds of conch shells, cool spirals from crabs, and great clam and mussel shells? I haven't
So I'm curious where all the shells you find in beach town tourist shops come from. They have them by the thousands; you can pull out hand fulls from buckets.
Is there a private market somewhere that know one is privy to but beaches? A mob racket supporting a black market in shells? Are they farmed like pearls?
Think about it, it doesn't make any sense. Think of any other product you can buy by way of nature - wood, stone, food, animals, gases, coconuts, flowers, even food from shell based sea life seems attainable if farmed or even trawled off ocean floors. From where do the millions of tiny souvenir shells come?

You're just not looking on the right beaches. The old, discarded houses of marine molluscs litter the beaches in tropical regions. They're so abundant naturally that they are not worth farming.

the terrific thank you to get the shell off the egg is , as quickly using fact the eggs are boiled (approximately 15-20 minutes) drain the water, then positioned the eggs in ice chilly water. Crack the backside of the egg, and peel back the shell, together as working the egg under chilly water and run a spoon up interior the process the shell. this could be an basic way, and it works great!!
