Description: Get free shipping for your entire order when you buy 3 or more shells at the same time. Every now and then a one-of-a-kind rarity becomes available... or a show-stopping ultra-gem steps out of the crowd... shells that take your breath away and are a joy to own...an elite shell--- GIGANTIC! Cypraea cribraria #17 38.2mm, Linnaeus 1758, RARE BEAUTY from the Philippines. Found Olango Island, Philippines, by a diver in 10 feet of water under rubble, 2015. You know, cribrarias over the size of 30mm are uncommon; over the size of 35mm, very uncommon. And over the size of 38mm? Down right rare. In fact, in the whole world, only one or two a year become available, and as you might imagine, they don't stay available for long, not when cribrarias are already one of the most popular shells out there! So, it's fun to be able to offer such a rare, unique shell, one that would be a prize in any collection!. And this gigantic beauty? It is a glossy, beautifully patterned specimen that will look terrific sitting on your shelf! The perfect shell for a first-class collection. (The size comparison cribraria is 31.3mm!)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.
