I think those are similar to the ones used by ancient peoples to make rare blue textile dye?

Are you talking about Hexaplex trunculus snail?

You sound like you know your stuff! :)

I have No idea~ I just came across that bit of arcane snail-dye info one day, and thought it might apply to these blue ones; but now I’m a bit sheepish~ do you happen to know?

Found a tiny blue snail outside my apartment today. The shell is about the size of a pencil eraser.
