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.

A semi-precious family and now one of the most popular ones. No members of the Strombidae are really small and all have an attractive shape and nice colours. Some of the Strombidae belong to the famous shells. Strombus listeri was only known by one specimen for more than 300 years until its habitat was discovered (Thailand) at the beginning of the seventies. At the beginning of the eighties Strombus oldi was rediscovered in Somalian waters. Rarest among known Strombidae is the small Strombus scalariformis from the Philippines.
