Photo Details
Moneta Registered: August 2005 Location: Arizona USA Posts: 2,365	T. P. Collection. Depending on the condition, based upon storage and soil characteristics, natural cowries can be found with unusual colors. Green cowries probably mean the shell took on the green copper characteristics of a buried bronze vessel.
