Ham molds

Ham molds

A quirk of nature, from the mytilidae family, the ham mussel measures about twenty centimeters long and about fifteen wide on the upper part. Living in the shallow lagoon, it remains buried in the sandy bottom, leaving its shell only 5 to 6 centimeters protruding. Be careful swimmers who do not have shoes. You can accidentally step on it and cut yourself deeply on the sharp edge of the shell. Very beautiful shell for shell collectors, it is not very sought after because it is not known if it is edible.
