Description: Cypraea (Mauritia) arabica arabica, 34-36mm, cowrie seashell from Wakayama, Japan F++, no big issues. Dwarf size, interesting location, good quality, light blue on the bottom. I only have five arabica cowries from Japan, these are two of them. Bought them from Kyoto. Generally speaking, heavier specimens like these two usually come from Thailand. I asked the seller the same question, but he showed me the data report, which indicated that they came from Japan. So even though I thought the price was a bit expensive at the time, I still bought them. After all, it’s not easy to see shells in Kyoto’s vintage stores, not to mention that these shells are so shiny compared to the other dusty shells. I can neither identify the source of shells with the naked eye, nor do I have the ability to conduct genetic testing, so I honestly stated my concerns. Although my selling price is much cheaper than my purchase price, I still hope that my buyers could make their own judgment and buy the shells they really like.
