GIANT! Cypraea guttata guttata #16 67.6mm,
Gmelin 1791,
BIG-SPOTTED BEAUTY from Philippines
.  Collected by tangle nets, 200 meters, Balicasag Island, Philippines.  It's hard to believe that the guttata cowrie was once one of the rarest shells in the world... during the 70's, less than 15 were known to exist, and now?  I have almost that many sitting my shelf myself!  But it's easy to understand the strong demand for them, they're spectacular to look at, and this
very
near-GEM
giant,
with those huge spots, vivid colors and glossy, striped base is an incredible beauty, one that will look
fantastic
sitting on your shelf!
The ultra-perfect shell for a first-rate collection.
As for normal disclaimers, we do the best we can with photos, but color is tricky, especially since cell phone cameras automatically lean towards flesh-tone coloring, (that's why so many of the photos of shells on eBay show up with more orange than is really there, the camera changes the color, and damm if I can figure out how to stop that from happening, but I try, honest!
As for feedback, as your know, sellers live and die by the feedback you leaved, (please leave fives!) so if you have a problem, just let me know!  After all, I'm retired, and all messages go directly to my phone, so unless I'm out shell collecting I will get back to you pronto-like!
Shell collecting!  Now there's a phrase that brings smiles to your eyes, doesn't it!
Anyhow, if you have read this far, you have my apologies and best wishes from those of us at IslandShells323.  And don't forget,
Home is where your collection is!
