IS $50.00 american a good price for one? Does anyone know? (it opens torwards the right hand of course)

Curious does anyone here keep them in your home?

Yes we do its passed on from great grandparents to my grandparents

$ 71 to 142 per gram depends where you buy it tho

I have left hand opening Conch Shell at my home, but right hand opening Shankh (Dakshinavarti Shankh) is very rear. It is considered more auspicious. I think $50 is a suitable price for that.

Thanks Vaman & peshwawarrior. Never heard of it being sold per gram????
I guess $50.00 isnt that bad of a price.

Maybe Luxmi will send me her blessings.
