[Source] From "Supplement to Compendium of Materia Medica": The chezan is a large clam that lives in the sea, also known as the mussel. "Compendium of Materia Medica": The purple one of the claws is also called purple shell by sea people. In recent times, it is often used in prescriptions for treating carbuncles, and its shell is calcined into ashes and applied to the sores. It can be found in both the South Sea and the North Sea, and can be collected at any time. People also eat its meat, which is said to be salty and non-toxic, similar to clams but not as hard. It can also detoxify alcohol. The shells of the northern ones are too rough to be used.
