What are the prettiest shells in the ocean?

Cowrie shells are some of the most beautiful and unique seashells on the planet. They come in around 200 different varieties, with each one boasting its own unique colors, patterns, and textures. These shells are native to warm coastal waters, where they can be found glimmering in sand beds or among coral reefs.

Junonia is one of the rarest shells to find. It's highly coveted among beachcombers. Because Junonia snails live on the ocean floor, their shells aren't likely to wash up on the beach. Once a Junonia dies, its shell is more likely to stay buried than to travel the 60 to 150 feet to the sand.
