The Natural History of the Murex

Dating back to classical antiquity, the word "murex " was famously used by Aristotle to describe these spectacular marine gastropod mollusks. Belonging to the predatory rock snail family (Muricidae ), these carnivorous tropical sea snails thrive primarily in the shallow subtidal zones and coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific. Their highly sculptured exteriors evolved to protect them in the wild, resulting in the magnificent, ornate armor that makes them a timeless treasure for crafters and collectors today.
