Jumbo Male Horned Helmet Shell Blowing Horn – 12" Cassis cornuta

A dramatic jumbo male horned helmet shell (Cassis cornuta) transformed into a functional blowing horn. This extremely large sea-snail shell belongs to the helmet shell family and produces a loud, resonant horn tone.

Kathy personally purchased this shell in Hawaii in 1988. Its broad opening, sculptural horns, finely ridged natural texture, and warm cream coloring give it striking presence from every angle. The professionally finished, smoothly shaped mouthpiece makes it comfortable to play as a traditional conch trumpet.
