This is beautiful specimen that has been in our family collection for nearly 50 years. This specimen has very nice blue-gray color.
This is part of our late father’s large collection of seashells he obtained while stationed on Okinawa, Japan in 1974-1978. His interests in shells grew from more than the Indo-Pacific species when he engaged in trading his shells with some of the prominent collectors around the world. He was an avid scuba diver and seashell collector. The results of many deep dives led to the creation of a collection of some of the best shells Okinawa had to offer.
Ted’s shells have been cared for
and stored for the past 50 years. All are in excellent condition.
My sister and I are listing shells after researching them for value, quality
and uniqueness. We are not conchologists and are giving our opinion on the
condition and quality of the shell when compared to other listings.
Thanks for your interest in this shell. More of Ted's shells can be found at my sister's site (user id shells4you).
