    GIANT! Murex brevifrons w/o #2 83.8mm,
    Lamarck 1822,
    RARE EXQUISITE NEAR-GEM BEAUTY from Aruba
    .  Found by a diver in 15 feet of water on sand, Spanish Lagoon, Aruba, 1968.  You know, there is something about finding a murex shell that just isn't like anything else---I guess it has to do with the fact that in Hawaii, murex shells are rare indeed, so when you do find one, you remember!  (Check out my murex pele story, for more info on that!)  Anyhow, I think it would be heaven to be able to go collecting some place like the Philippines or Aruba, where finding a murex is not such a rare event, I truly do!
    .  And this rarely offered
    dark
    beauty, with its gorgeous dark cocoa-colored body and almost perfect,
    incredible
    spines, (the first of a pair of brevifrons to be listed here,) is an
    exquisite,
    giant
    shell that will 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.  And don't forget,
    Home is where your collection is!
