Description

Found this specimen and another that was broading eggs, left that one alone and took this one. Some blemishes and slight nick at the canal which is probably natural. Very rare find. My second find. All those whom have purchased my self-collected specimens, they know that I have carefully made sure that I do not boil my shells, carefully clean them and they are in the same conditions as they are found. White spots are light spots. Collected August 2018.
