Black helmet was a cassidae shell found in the Realms.[1][2][3]
Description[]
Helmet shells were sought after for making cameos. Black helmet shells had a dark brown layer beneath a lighter colored layer. This gave a cameo an onyx-like appearance. A large specimen in good condition had a base value of 45 gp.[1][2][3]
