    BIG! Mitra gloriola 58.9mm,
    Cernohorsky 1970,
    GORGEOUS NEAR-GEM from the Philippines
    .  Collected by tangle net, 150 meters, Olango Island, Philippines.  I still marvel at the number of shells collected by tangle net---it blows the mind!  Yet what a perfect solution to finding shells that still are way too deep to be collected any other way.  Dredging was popular in the 60's and 70's, and yielded some incredible shells too, but by far, collecting by tangle net has made available more rare shells to the average collector than any other method.  Amazing.
    .  Anyhow, as the photos show, this
    big
    near-GEM beauty from a collection put together by a master, with its near-flawless body, bright, vivid, almost purple pattern on a white background, nice spire and beautiful lip, is another terrific beauty that will look
    fantastic
    sitting on your shelf!
    The perfect shell for a first-class 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!
