ULTRA! Cypraea mappa viridis montrouzieri #3 80.4mm,Dautzenberg 1903,GIANT BEAUTY from New Caledonia

. A rare, endemic form of the mappa cowrie found on a reef during a night dive in 30 feet of water, Uie Bay, New Caledonia, 2021. I imagine that for the average collector, finding one of these rare beauties must be like finding a giant tiger cowrie in Hawaii, something that youneverforget. And a spectacular, bigone? Wow! It is one of my greatest ambitions to get to go shell collecting someday in New Caledonia, it sounds like heaven!

. Andthisbig,rose-colored shell, is more beautiful than I can describe---arare,super-gorgeous, glossy, near-GEM beauty with a violet-tinted mouththat will lookterrificon 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 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 response, as your know, sellers live and die by the response 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!
