The star system calculates the number of pieces that were handled by Conchology, Inc. in the last 21 years:
0 – 5 pieces | 6 stars | |
6 – 10 pieces | 5 stars | |
11 - 25 pieces | 4 stars | |
26 - 75 pieces | 3 stars | |
76 - 150 pieces | 2 stars | |
> 150 pieces | 1 star |
We want to point out that the star system is only very reliable for PHILIPPINE shells only, as we handle very few foreign shells in general. As time goes, the system will become more and more performant.

Tropical and subtropical waters. They usually live on mud bottoms in colonies that may number millions of individuals. Their shells are often eroded and need much cleaning. Almost all species remain cheap because the collector can pick up the gems and fairly clean indivuals when field collecting. A few live in deep water and are hard to obtain. The little interest they obtain from most collectors must be due to a lack of knowledge on the group that contains some magnificent shells such as Pseudovertagus nobilis and Rhinoclavis. About 400 species.
