Natural summerNatural summer Baldwin dives infrequently, principally on my visits to Maui every couple of years. Each time, I am amazed at his uncomplicated system. He wears no wet suit, no gloves and carries no equipment. I suspect, however, that he has a rabbit's foot tucked away somewhere. Natural summerNatural summer L. chiragra, etc., or the violet spots of Cypraea chinensis will fade through boiling. Especially if the shells were not washed and rinsed before, so that the boiling water does not contains salt, mucus or decomposed animal matter. So better avoid boiling these shells. Some bivalves, especially such which come from muddy bottom, may change their colours through boiling. Some Aplysiidae, who have a delicate, internal shell, shrivel and contract through boiling and this usually results in a crushed shell. But cone shells, Mitra, Oliva, Terebra and most Cypraea can be boiled without harm to the colour.] It is a pity that collectors nowadays strive only to possess the largest shells of each species and thus neglect the small ones. Formerly, collectors would boast that they possessed both the largest end the smallest shells of a species. You will see, for instance, that a dwarf Cypraea tigris of about 40 mm compared to one of about 150 mm is a surprising contrast worthy to be exhibited in any collection.
