Crushed Mano de Lion Shells from Mexico, Fine Crush, Powder Size, <0.25mm

▏ABOUT ⧫ MANO DE LION▕

Mano de lion, also known as paw of the lion, are scallops that have colorful orange shells with large knobs similar to that of a lion’s paw. Many of these marine molluscs live off the coast near the Baja Peninsula and in the Sea of Cortez. These crushed shells have vibrant orange and purple hues that are mixed together with the white inner portion of the shell. The mano de lion powder is mainly a peach color and would be a great addition to your inlay work.
