The left shell is fresh and I brought it home from a Japanese meal in Kyoto. It is called Abalone or Awabi (Japanese) and is pearl inside with a row of (at least 9) perforations. It is rather light in weight. The right shell is pertrified and very old, I found it at a beach in France. I have no idea what exactly it is, but it could be an oyster type of shell. It is the perfect intermediate between a shell and a stone and rather heavy. The photo gives a reliable impression of the two very different textures of these shells.

The Shell House is a classical modernist architectural masterwork that stands overlooking the Landwehrkanal in the Tiergarten district of Berlin. It opened in 1932 and was designed by German architect Emil Fahrenkamp. At the time the building was noted for its striking wave-like façade, and for being one of the first steel-framed high-rise buildings in Berlin.
With the weather threat of 20 Cm of snow for Dec 4/15 this may possibly be the last view of the sand and shells till spring, hopefully not.
Low tide today was at 12.59pm, so I took myself down to the beach for a wander. I spent nearly an hour and half there and it only rained once for a few minutes, but otherwise it was glorious.
Die Marke und Unternehmensgruppe Shell geht zurück auf die Gründung eines Kuriositätengeschäfts im Jahre 1833 im Londoner Eastend durch Marcus Samuel. Ein Großteil seines Handels basierte auf dekorativen Muscheln (engl.: „Shell“), die zur Ornamentierung für Schachteln oder als Sammlerobjekte im Viktorianischen England beliebt waren und von ihm aus Fernost importiert wurden. Der Konzern ist heute in mehr als 140 Ländern aktiv und beschäftigt weltweit rund 83.000 Mitarbeiter.
