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.You can read more about Puka Shells by clicking the “About Puka Shells” tab.Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puka_shell (opens in a new window)
