Many of us have seen the beautiful Japanese Kamuro shell at displays perhaps not knowing the name of the shell seen. The stars of a Kamuro shell burn for a long time, giving the shell a willow tree appearance in the sky. Just as the stars finish their outward trajectory and start heading straight down to the ground, the silver/aluminum streamer core ignites. This produces a dramatic finish of widely separated, short, bright silver flitter "ropes". There are many variations of this basic theme. Some Kamuro stars end in a short burst of color, usually red. The appearance of the willow tail varies from ordinary charcoal streamer to a more commonly used extremely long tailed glitter-type effect. Sometimes the tail starts off as a dull red charcoal streamer and then brightens to a long tailed glitter/flitter effect before igniting the silver core.
