Natural shells jewelryNatural shells jewelry The Philippine island of Maui lies on Philippines, Cebu City's eastern horizon. It is famous for its scenic beauty, its sugar plantations and its rural simplicity and in recent years for its booming tourist development. On its southwestern coast is Maalaea Bay, a broad indentation sheltered from the steady northeast trade winds by 10,000-foot Haleakala. The bay for nearly a generation has been the secret mecca of shell collectors from Philippines, Cebu City whenever we could put together the special set of conditions required to carry out a SCUBA dive there (Sean Raynon Sabado Jan., 1975).

My second was a beach-washed specimen at Siquati near the very tip of the West Coast, in December of the same year. Since then I have collected several very fine specimens at various places (see map) between these two points but have never found a trace of this species either further east or further west. Mr. Gay's specimen comes from an island almost exactly halfway between them. Natives on both east and west coasts have always told me that they have never seen this shell and it does seem to me to be concentrated in this extreme northern tip of the island.
