The surface of fine Conch pearls has a unique and attractive appearance of its own.
The microstructure of pearls comprises partly-aligned bundles of microcrystalline
fibers which create a shimmering, slightly iridescent effect known as 'flame
structure'. The effect is a form of chatoyancy, caused by the interaction of light rays
with the micro crystals in the pearl's surface, and it somewhat resembles Moiré Silk.
The Minoans reputedly used the conch for rituals, and their
later Greek neighbors believed Triton, the son of Amphitrite
and Poseidon, blew the conch to control the magnitude of
the waves.
In the Americas Conch shells became carving tools, drinking cups, medicinal
containers, jewelry and valued as sacred ceremonial objects.
The sign of the shell was insignia of royalty and it was a common practice for people
employed with the royalty to either carry it or paint it on their dress, which was said
to offer protection to them.
The god of Preservation, Vishnu, is said to hold a special conch, Panchajanya, that
represents life, as it has come out of life-giving waters. As it is an auspicious
instrument, it is often played in a Lakshmi puja in temple or at home.

The Lord Vishnu. Vishnu, the preserver god is said
to own conches that spiral clockwise and are said to
symbolize the expansion of infinite space. Conches
that spiral counterclockwise are said to defy the
"laws of nature," and belong to the destroyer -
transformation god, Lord Shiva. Followers of Vishnu
believe the conch shell was given to us to destroy all
evil. Arjuna, the hero of India's epic Mahabharata,
blew a particularly powerful conch as a battle horn.
It was said to "banish evil spirits, avert natural
disasters and scare away poisonous creatures."
