<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 12816552, member: 2844&quot;]That is called Shiva&#039;s eye, all opercula have that and you can buy Shiva&#039;s eye jewellery very cheaply. But only the green turban shell has the green and ochre cat&#039;s eye operculum with that beautiful porcelain gloss. </p><p>In Indonesia the cat&#039;s eye is called &quot;matabiak&quot;, &quot;eye of Biak&quot;, and that is what many people here in NL call them as well. Biak is an island off Papua.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having lived in Sydney, Australia and traveled the Pacific, they are like a bit of home to me. I have a sterling ring mounted with a giant green cat&#039;s eye which I bought in Fiji, and a few other bits and pieces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
