I am disappointed with this Queen Conch shell.  It has ground down edges instead of its natural shape.  Maybe it was broke and thats how they fixed it  I dont know, but I added it to my decor regardless.  I added little felt stickers to the base of shell so it doesnt scratch the glass table it sits on.  The pink in the shell is a gorgeous color, and oh so pretty.  There are some chips on the outside of the shell also.  Amazing how nature  uses the world around itself to make a safe place to live.
