dillwyni dillwyni 11,1 mm Gem- > 100 Euro Bruce Henke › seahorse 29.04.2011 Guam Island ONE OF THE NICEST AND DARKEST DILWYNII TO EVER COME FROM GUAM. SERIOUS WHITE SPOTS AND DARK MARGINS AND DORSUM.. VERY NICE SHELL..STANDOUT DILLWYNII..FRESH FRESH FRESH DEAD, VERY VERY LIVE LIKE. THIS ONE COMPARES VERY EASY TO THE TWO SOLD AT $350 AND $300 IN THE PAST TWO AUCTIONS..LAST ONE LIKE THIS.!!!BY THE WAY, THIS IS A VERY VERY RARE SHELL, HARDLY EVER OFFERED, ESPECIALLY THIS QUALITY AND COLOR..THIS SHELL IS RARER THAN ELUDENS!!!!OF COURSE WE ARE TALKING "APPLES AND ORANGES". BUT A MUCH RARER SHELL, AND ONE OF THE HARDEST SHELLS IN THE WORLD TO FIND..REQUIRES LOTS AND LOTS OF DEEP DIGGING IN SOCCER SIZE FIELDS OF DEAD CORAL. LIKE LOOKING FOR A NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK OF HAY, BUT THE SIZE OF THE HAYSTACK IS 10 SOCCER FIELDS IN SIZE..THIS IS A VERY VERY GOOD CHEAP PRICE FOR THIS SHELL. A MUST SHELL FOR TE SERIOUS CYPRAEA COLLECTOR. AGAIN THIS QUALITY IS RARELY OFFERED BECAUSE THAY JUST ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THIS QUALITY ON GUAM, MAYBE 5-8 IN 15 YEARS OF MY DIVING ON GUAM AND GOES BACK ANOTHER 15 YEARS OF PREVIOUS COLLECTIONS FROM GUAM. THIS INCLUDES ALL COLLECTIONS FROM GUAM..VERY NICE SHELL. I RATE AS GEM MINUS BECAUSE IT IS FRESH DEAD, BUT OTHERS WOULD PASS THIS SHELL OFF AS LIVE VERY VERY VERY EASY!!!! MY DARK DILLWYNII I HAVE SOLD, THE COLLECTORS HAVE BEEN THRILLED OVER, THIS ONE WILL BE THE SAME ALSO.. - dillwyni dillwyni 04
