    RARE NEAR-GEM BEAUTY from the Caribbean
    .  Collected by a shrimp trawler in 40 meters of water, the Caribbean.  I apologize for taking so long to list this rare beauty from a collection put together by a master--- the rarely offered voluta demarcoi.  And of course, it was collected in the most romantic of ways,
    by accident
    by a shrimp trawler.  That's how the milneedwardsi cone became available, it was the shrimp trawlers that found them, and of course, it was a very smart collector in South Africa who was the first one to think of them, run down to the docks and discover the mother lode, shell collecting-wise!  Anyhow, this
    big
    peach-colored beauty with a nice lip, (the only flaw being a repair on its body that the shell worked into its pattern) is otherwise, as the photos show, a beautiful,
    rare, big
    near-GEM that will look
    wonderful
    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!
