Did you know, the original color purple was made from the secretions of a rare sea snail and became the royal color, not only because of its vibrant hues, but because only the rich could afford it.

I had no idea. I am not sure how I will fit this into a casual conversation but you never know.
Good one
No, I did not know that. Amazing.
If you would have asked me this question I would have been guessing but I did know this answer from watching documentaries. I watched a nature show a d they spoke of this sea creature and I also recall watching about the British royals and why purple is royal.
Yes I knew!!! Hugs, Valerie
Thanks, Christine.

Donna, Who'd a thought. Hugs received and returned.

It is, isn't it, Jamie?
