The Original genuine Lakshmi Shank is a sinistral conch shell from the Indian Ocean, and certainly not a sinistral whelk species from Florida, USA. A true Valampuri shell is a species under the gastropod genus Turbinella L. The most common species is Turbinella pyrum L. It is important to note that only sinistral variety of Turbinell species is a true Lakshmi Shankh. This shell is rare in its occurrence. Other right-turning sea snail shells of a similar shape such as the lightning whelk Busycon perversum, are often mistakenly sold and worshiped in place of the genuine Shank. The real Lakshmi Shank has 3 to 11 ridges or plaits on its columella, whereas whelk shells does not show the presence of such plaits on its columella. The so-called flower bud opening test and the rice pulling test (Valampuri said to rise up through a rice heap) are non scientific gimmicks. The best authenticity test is to take X-Ray image of the Valampuri. Valampuries show morphological variations depending on origin. Shells with mixed characters of two adjacent localities are also seen.

The third locality is Bay of Bengal. Varieties showing mixed characters have also been observed. The imitation (Lightning Whelks) mostly come from Florida and the Gulf of Mexico. This imitation is also known as African Valampuri.

For example a medium size Valampuri weighs about 160 grams x Rs 600 = Rs. 96,000 minimum. More over, Valampuris of the smooth "milk" variety sell for over Rs. 90000 per gram, and weight about 150-350 grams. Tiny dwarf Valampuris small enough to wear as a pendant are very rare and price is negotiable when available.
Regarding value, note the comparison, a Valampuri costing $20,000 would only purchase a 1.50-carat (300 mg) diamond. So the legendary cost of Valampuri, as compared to a diamond, is actually quite low, in spite of demand always far exceeding supply.
