Wholesale pearlized white nautilus shells measuring from 3 inches up to 6-7/8 inches for seashell centerpieces for weddings and for coastal home decorating. The nautilus shell is one of the most popular shells collected by shell collectors and the white pearl nautilus are one of the most popular seashells for weddings. These pretty shells are also used in beach themed decor and are one of the most profitable retail items for beach gift shops. These shells make perfect seashell gifts. Chocolatey-brown zebra stripes adorn the nautilus's smooth white shell. The otter layer has been removed in a acid process exposing the white pearly layer. The nautilus expands its living space as it grows, adding internal chambers, spiral coated in mother of pearl. A newly hatched nautilus wears a shell divided into four small chambers. As a nautilus grows, it gains more living space by building new chambers connected to the old ones; adult shells have 30 chambers. To control its buoyancy, a nautilus pumps fluids in and out its shell chambers, which are connected by tubes called “siphuncles.” Nautilus populations tend to be 75% males and 25% females.
