Each one was the beach-worn apex of a cone snail shell, a kind of seashell from a sea snail. Puka is the Hawaiian word for “hole” and refers to the naturally occurring hole in the middle of these rounded and worn shell fragments. These natural beads were made into necklaces.Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puka_shellRead more about Puka Shells by using the “About Puka Shells” tab.
