There is something about finding a cypraea helvola under a small piece of dead coral that just takes your breath away. The shell seems to glow in the water, angels begin to sing, and before you know it, you're singing too! Almost all of the hevolas I've collected in Hawaii were found in that way, just sitting there in 12 inches of water under a small rock, at a place I could only get to at low tide. My favorite spot was a large slab of dead coral at Sandy Beach that was a pain to lift up (and often exciting, since moray eels also liked to hide under the same large slab) but checking under that slab was almost always worth the effort---helvolas, maculiferas, isabellas, monetas, pennaceus cones in the sand and more were all found under that same slab over the years. . This shell however, was found in a place that just recently has been producing some terrific shells---Indonesia. I mean, when I read about the great shells found there, it reminds me of Fort Kam reef on Oahu, a wonderful place that everyone else got to go collecting at but me! Anyhow, this very glossy beauty found at low tide under a piece of dead coral at Lombok Island, Indonesia, 2021, is, as the video shows, one of the finest helvolas I have ever seen, a gorgeous ultra-GEM niger that will look terrific sitting on your shelf! The ultra-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.
