Love my shell! Arrived very quickly  I ordered the Large one. Very pleased with Size !  I can hear the ocean in it loud and clear  so very beautiful   I ordered for my beach theme in my bathroom.  You will notice the long hole in it that is required by law  so expect that when it comes. It just looks natural to me.  Doesn’t make that much of a difference in my opinion. The crack doesn’t look man made  Nice hefty shell  , makes up for any defects you may find  which are very few.   I love it. Would recommend and order again.  Very pretty.
