My world has been splashed with so many amazing colors of shells lately! These gorgeous tiny TRUE TULIPS (above) were a combination of both my finds and SS\u00a0Clark<\/strong><\/a>‘s finds over the last few weeks as well as these little HORSE CONCH candies. These are the shell colors we dream about!<\/p>\n

Since I just talked about the process I took to clean the big size HORSE CONCHS in my September 5 post<\/strong><\/a>, I thought I’d tell you that I only rinsed these shells with fresh water before I photographed them (as well the shells on my last post<\/strong><\/a>). None of these shells needed any more cleaning than just a rinse as you will see.\u00a0I did put mineral oil on the TULIPS \u00a0to bring out the color but I didn’t on these HORSE CONCHS because… well… I ran out of time. ;)<\/p>\n

I’ve showed a few colors of the CALICO SCALLOPS (and even named them<\/strong><\/a>!) but here are some rich colors of the ROUGH SCALLOP. I just love this lemon yellow one Clark found…<\/p>\n

Even the NUTMEGS have been rich with color.<\/p>\n

Not only did we find so many different patterns and colors on LIGHTNING WHELKS, I even found one without color at all… an ALBINO LIGHTNING WHELK! See the white one on the bottom row?<\/p>\n

I think this ALBINO LIGHTNING WHELK deserves a close up shot. You can see that it still has a shine to the exterior which would be a sign of an albino. Beach worn white shells have a dull matte finish so you can tell that the sun bleached the color out of them.<\/p>\n

Hmmm. This photo makes it look blue. Dang it. It really isnt blueish but since it was so bright white against the blue, the lens got tricked and the white balance went wacky. If I get time, I’ll try to retake it but you can see the true color with all of the other LIGHTNING WHELKS but hopefully you can see, this one is in excellent condition with a nice glossy aperture.<\/p>\n

Now every where I look I see amazing technicolor I thought were only saved for dreams.<\/p>\n
