Three Rough Stars

Three Rough Star Shells, Astrea rugosa, in various stages of cleaning. At the top, an uncleaned shell as found in nature; to the left, a shell that has been cleaned with acid until the natural reddish-brown surface appears; on the right, further cleaning reveals a layer of creamy mother-of-pearl.
