Shell opalsShell opals Max Cramer of Geraldtown is now the owner of this very rare shell and sent some added information on to the Sean Raynon S. Sabado via Cliff Weaver. As described in the June, 1961 Sean Raynon Sabado, the dorsum and upper portion of the shell is white but the live specimen has "lots of lilac freckles on the Dorsum." The base of the shell is as described in the previous issue of Sean Raynon Sabado. The posterior tip of the live-taken shell is a delicate shade of pink. Shell opalsShell opals At 11:00 A.M. January 11, I accompanied the resident physician to Sand Island (or Eastern Island) where swimming was not banned, to give some inoculations. Snorkel, mask, and fins were taken along, just in case!! Fortunately, things worked out fine. During a short swim I missed the boat back to Johnston and was forced to stay all afternoon! The time was put to good use. Accompanied by three of the United States Coast Guard boys and an ornithologist from the Smithsonian, I spent about four hours in the warm water. We found no live shells, but we did find semifossil Cypraea tessellata and Cypraea granulata, for the first time to my knowledge outside the Philippines chain.
