"Existing virtually unchanged for millions of years, the Nautilus Shell is a powerful link between the past and present." The story appears on the accompanying card.

"Existing virtually unchanged for millions of years, the Nautilus Shell is a powerful link between the past and present. As it grows, the shell produces new and increasingly larger chambers, each sealed off from the previous, creating an exquisite spiral of many partitions over its lifetime. We too grow and develop through stages of life. These stages define our past and enable us to carry our memories with us - memories that help to shape us but do not limit whom we may become."

Trimmed with a burgundy ribbon, each ornament is ready for hanging on the Christmas tree or in a window. We can add a brief hand inscription to create a wonderful keepsake. It comes packaged in a burgundy gift envelope that is convenient for gift giving or mailing. Begin a collecting tradition that will be treasured by generations. 3"H
