SHELL COLLECTION ……..Gloria maris Wally Gibbins – A world expert.
Wally Gibbins discovered the habit of the rarest and most valueable sea shell in the world, in the Solomon Islands.
Soon after he had a price list circulated to museums around the world. Of the dozens, maybe hundreds of Gloria maris Wal collected, he kept this pair of extremities in size, which has become the real prize discoveries (with an incalcuable monetary value which might only be realised at auction).
just have a lot of respect to Mr gibbins just started to collect seahsells in Aruba hope to ever get the chance to find me a gloria maris on a shelling trip.
There’s a short video on YouTube, an interview with Wally Gibbins speaking about Gloria Maris. A search will find it.
