    It sure is a beauty Barry! Be sure to keep us updated and share with us where it was collected from.

    Scott, I was told that it came from The Solomon Island, In the past, most were coming out of Viet Nam,

    Look better and better ever day, so we will see.

    Yeah it is a nice one. I have seen a couple lingering around but either bleaching, pinched, or gaping

    True, true...my LFS sells the 7" size for about $399.00 - They also have a styrofoam box where the shells (from dead clams) are kept.
    Price & their difficulty in keeping them alive has stopped me purchasing one.

    2 of the three tear drops I have had for over 3 weeks now and doing very well. The other one is almost 2 weeks and looks great.

    update

    The large tear drop, after 7 week is doing very well. Talked with the new owner and he said that he thought that it had even colored up a little.
