The scallop has been a spiritual symbol that transcends religion and time. From early Christian priests who wore scallops as a symbol of peace and used them as a baptismal tool, to images of earlier deities of the waves. 
 
The scallop is a symbol of pilgrimage and transformative journeys, of protection, personal transformation, and wisdom.
 
Shell sizes range from  3.5 - 4.5" (8.9 - 11.4 cm).
