Cypraea tigris tulearensis #2 92.1mm, Shaw 1794, RARE BEAUTY from Madagascar You know, until recently it had not occurred to me that tiger cowries are found only in the Pacific Ocean. So... these tiger cowries from Madagascar are very unusual, because Madagascar is 10,000 miles away from the Pacific Ocean! Yet there they are, an isolated colony of tiger cowries on the other side of the Indian Ocean, wow! Simply amazing. And on top of all that, this tulearensis is a different, rarely available variant of the tiger cowrie---a heavy, shiny white beauty that was found on a reef in 45 feet of water, Tulear, Madagascar, 2020, and though it has a small repair and hard to see light scratches on the top of its dorsum, as the photos show, this is a big, white, rare beauty that will look fantastic sitting on your shelf.The 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.
