Best Answer

Cat's Eye shells -- each one the operculum or foot-closure of a sea-snail called a Turban Shell or Turbo -- are widely used in Europe and the Middle East for protection against the evil eye , no doubt because they themselves resemble eyes. The Turban Shell is mostly found in the south and western Pacific Ocean. Most that are sold commercially are harvested in the waters off the Phillipines.
