Found by a diver in 60 feet of water in the sand, Bohol Island, the Philippines, 2021. I have many wonderful memories of the Philippines---visiting Victor Dan, holding 2 huge gloriamaris cones at a time when there were only 26 known specimens in the world, chasing and collecting butterflies in a land where the butterflies literally take your breath away, they are so beautiful, hiding behind our beds when a hurricane with 100mph winds hit, then walking around during the intense and eerie calm that occurred when the eye of a hurricane passed directly over where we lived, and then hiding behind our beds again when the hurricane resumed, with 100mph winds that now blew in the opposite direction, riding and screaming in terror in a taxi while our taxi driver calmly dodged oncoming traffic so he could get around a slow down on his side of the road, (they really should issue blindfolds whenever you get into a taxi there!)... it was a wonderful place, with wonderful people, wow!. And that's where this rarely offered shell came from---and as the video shows, even with what appears to be a limpet-type of damage at the tip of its mouth, this is a gorgeous, incredibly patterned, rare ribbed beauty with a perfect spire and a beautiful, serrated lip---a fabulous shell that will look wonderful 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.
