Barnacle Shells (Balanus spp.)
These natural barnacle shells are collected from the rocky shores of Maine and are perfect for a wide range of creative and decorative uses. Their textured surfaces and irregular forms make them ideal for seashell crafts, coastal décor, art installations, and nautical-themed projects. Each shell cluster is hand-picked from the beach, then carefully rinsed first in ocean water and again in fresh tap water to ensure cleanliness while maintaining natural integrity.
Whether you’re creating a beach wedding centerpiece, building shell mosaics, or adding coastal charm to your home décor, these barnacle shells offer an authentic touch of the Maine coast. Popular among crafters, decorators, teachers, and artists, they bring organic texture and ocean-inspired beauty to any project.
