The star system calculates the number of pieces that were handled by Conchology, Inc. in the last 16 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.

OFFER 400 THE POLYMESODA MEXICANA: Is one of the many Polymesoda living along the western coasts of the Americas. They are typical mangrove species, sometimes penetrating the fresh water canals quite far into the land. Virtually all species are covered by a thick olive colored periostracum that protects the rather fragile soft-chalky shells. In most countries the Polymesoda are eaten, and you will often find them alive on local market, which saves you the digging out in the heavy black muds of the low tide mangroves, which are the territory of big crabs, snakes and the like. We found this small lot of P. mexicana in the Rice collection, collected about half a century ago, under the name Polymesoda altilis Gould, 1853, now a synonym of the P. mexicana. The mexicana is found from Baja California, south to Peru. A not so often seen species.
