The tiger clam built its shell slowly, layer by layer, in the particular patience of things that live underwater and have no reason to hurry. What remains after polishing is the banding — natural stripes and gradients that no two shells repeat exactly, a glossy surface that catches light the way water does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet it in a bowl, on a shelf, or among other found objects where its coastal origin speaks for itself. What arrives is exactly what the ocean made it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e+ WHY WE CHOSE IT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause polished tiger clam at this quality of banding and finish is a genuinely beautiful natural object. Because no two are alike and this one is particularly good. Because some things the ocean makes are worth keeping on a shelf where they can be properly seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e+ ABOUT THIS PIECE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne available.
