GEM - Shells are without any discernible blemish or flaw. The specimen will be fully adult and of average size. These shells are still excellent ones for an aesthetically pleasing collection and are considerably cheaper than GEM specimens. FINE - Shells with a chip, growth line, nacour lift, blemish or other flaw visible.
Some species are only available as fair specimens.
Suitable for a representative of the species or for a study collection. Obviously any grading system can not possibly do justice to all available specimens and most shells will require further description. The only other items we would like to consider to trade for are really rare or newly described species. To send us an offer, please click here. Schijnpoort, Antwerp, Belgium.
