When viewed from the side, this sea mollusk's shell looks like a turban; however, when viewed from above, its radiating spines give it the appearance of a twinkling star.

The trained eye will appreciate the lamellated striae and tuberculate folds of the concentric whorls atop its squamous base, its thin, arcuate columella, and lustrous operculum. The untrained eye will appreciate a pretty shell.
