Where do seashell stores get their shells?

[Cedonulli]

You didnt mention that its become such a large business and the poor people around the world do anything to stay alive. Thats why so many land and sea species are being taken to extinction. People poison and use dynamite and other blasting material to kill and stun gastropods. Everything else around is also killed. Divers now go deeper and farther to collect everything they can, taking the genetic material for the largest and most beautiful out of the population chain. Dealers have contacts all over the world to look for fishermen. They give them pennies then mark them up to larger dealers who sell through portal stores.
