Found by a diver in 60 feet of water under rubble, Bongao Island, Philippines, 2020. I know I have mentioned that high tide rubble line just full of small, bleached-out cowries about the size of this one on that small beach at Kwajalein, but wow, it is amazing how many rare cowries I must have been looking through and seeing without realizing it! Cribraria comma, clandestina, childreni, mariae, martini, globulus, and now, chiapponii. huh. And the number of different varieties of chick-pea cowries, now that hurts, to think that amongst all of those little bleached out chick-peas, I was actually looking at the occasional GEM chiapponii without knowing it, ouch! . Anyhow, as the video shows, this is a gorgeous pastel-colored GEM that would look terrific 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.
