Seeking Camino shell

[isadventure]

Hi all,
I hiked the Camino Frances this July (it was amazing ofc) & on the way home I lost my Camino shell. It was a beautiful purple and white shell that stayed with me all 600km, & I really wanted to hang it on my wall. But then I had to last-minute check my backpack when flying home & I forgot to untie the shell from the outside, & when I landed in the US it was gone
Does anyone have an extra shell that they'd be willing to share with me? Or do you know where I could get a good Jacob's shell? I'm happy to pay for shipping to Chicago or anything, just looking for a shell memento.

Shell scallop are very tasty, have you checked in the frozen section of a supermarket if you can find someone ? You could warm them, eat them, and got the shell.
Otherwise try to ask in a fish shop if they could give you one.

Your local chapter of American Pilgrims should have a shell. Or you can find one at a craft store. I have even seen them in the Dollar Tree stores.
