Shiva Eye shell is steeped in folklore, The shell forms a protective 'door' at the opening of the Turban Snail shell, which detaches at the end of the snails life and falls to the sea bed. They are most common in the beaches and shallow waters of Indonesia and Thailand, but are also found all over the world. Around Indonesia it is known as 'Shiva's Eye', a symbol of the God Shiva's third eye. As such it is seen as a sacred object of spiritual awakening and enlightenment. As with most 'eyes', it is believed to protect the wearer and ward off evil. Other names for this beautiful piece of natural geometry are 'Pacific cat's eye', 'mermaid's money', 'the eye of Naxos' and 'tears of Lucy'.
