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--- ULTRA! Conus Crocatus #4 74.3mm, Lamarck 1810, RARE GIGANTIC NEAR-GEM BEAUTY from the Philippines . Collected by tangle net in 300 feet of water, Surigao Island, the Philippines. I'm not quite sure why, but very rarely is an undamaged crocatus cone available. What I mean is, most often the shell has simply awful scar repairs on it, which, added to the fact that this gorgeous shell is also very rare? Well, finding a badly scarred crocatus cone must feel like it did when I found just a piece of the extremely rare elisae cone under a small piece of dead coral in Hawaii, So close! . And then we get to this baby, wow! Though it has in its pattern evidence of possible repairs? to its body, at the same time its body is smooth and unscarred, simply incredible for a shell of this size, but as the video shows, there it is---absolutely gorgeous! Add a perfect spire, gorgeous golden color and perfect lip, and you have the kind of rare beauty that people simply dream about collecting, and this baby is gigantic! So, a gigantic, rare specimen---with a level of quality almost never offered for a shell this size---a shell that will look fantastic sitting on your shelf! The ultra 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.
