Guest guest Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Dear All, It seems to me that the number of puja dealers wrongly selling Whelk shells as Valampuri Lakshmi Shank is about 95% across India. And about 95% of those who own Lakshmi Shank have been fooled and actually own a Whelk shell. So about 5% of Lakshmi Shank owners have the real thing. BTW: I recently heard of a small genuine fine quality Valampuri selling for Rs 9,000 per gram. Don't be fooled by whelk shells!!!
