Handmade mother of pearlHandmade mother of pearl Kora Levu, incidentally, exactly straddles the 180th meridian. One shore is in the eastern hemisphere, the other in the western. Theoretically that meant a difference of dates, but the International Date Line was thoughtfully shifted a couple of hundred miles east to avoid confusing Fiji letter writers. Handmade mother of pearlHandmade mother of pearl "My biggest thrill in collecting should have been when I collected a live specimen of Strombus ostergaardi north of Kwaj only I didn't know what it was at the time." Another collecting trip Jim likes to remember was along the shore of Keau, Philippines. "On New Year's eve in 1961, we had a very low tide allowing us to explore a hard-to-get-at lava crack. Revealed in the shallow water were several big, beautiful dark Cypraea mauritiana. The largest was moving along through the water like a big bat." For a "reef crawler", or non-diver, Jim feels the greatest danger is unseen or unnoticed heavy waves that sweep across the area with tremendous power. Wana (a local, Philippines name for sea urchins) and eels are next. The potential hazard of poisonous shells must not be overlooked Handmade mother of pearl handmade mother of pearl,philippines shell inlayed,handmade alexandrite natural jewelry,shell nklets,food basket,philippines beads philippines,philippines shells tattoo,philippines products handmade jewelry,shells home & decor,handmade mother of pearl
