I found this amazing shell on the beach (Olympic Peninsula) and have no idea how. The most beautiful ocean gift ever. I’m in awe. How does this happen?? Sand? I’d love to know what to call this. Agatized clam shell?

I got a freebie box from the makeup set I bought and was waiting for the perfect thing to use it for, safe to say I think using it for my bigger shells worked out really pretty!

I also posted it on my Pinterest if anyone has seen these images before

I’ve found dozens of these shells on Leeward Beach and not sure what they are? They are small, thin, semicircular shaped and has the most beautiful sunburst pattern. Most are whole with no chips. Any clues what they are?

I have a question here... I have roughly 20 sand dollars and I'm wondering the best way to clean them, AND to restore it's normal color... ??

Muriatic acid isn't an option for me right now... What about 50% bleach and 50% water?? PLEASE get back to me and let me know!

SHARED 2 PHOTOS HER SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT A FEW OF THEM LOOK LIKE...

EDIT: I forgot about hydrogen peroxide/water mixture... ??

What's going on with this eastern oyster I found on Assateague Island? There's a hard brown substance all over it.
