Dear friends,
This website was launched more than 25 years ago. It provided
information on cowries, thousands of pictures, and became a home for
collectors and scientists to share their thoughts and ask questions. I
supplied selected seashells to collectors and institutions
worldwide. Somebody once commented: "The difference between dealing
with you and the others out there is the quality. The
difference between Wagyu and Kebab."
Looking back, I am thankful for all the time I could cater to
collectors’ desires, exceed expectations, and obtain the seemingly
unobtainable.
My personal highlight was the
spontaneous launch of a charity auction, raising €25,000.00 for the
victims of the tsunami in December 2004.
Many of you became dear friends. My
sincere thanks to everybody who contributed to the success of my
ventures.
It is my pleasure to announce that, after many months of absence, the
sales lists are back. They will not be run by me, but by my friend Dr.
Peter Stahlschmidt, a world-renowned expert in seashells. He will carry
on the spirit of this site, with my help and expertise in the
background.
So long, happy Shelling... Life is good Felix Lorenz
As before, I am interested in special cowries and I buy entire
shell collections. Simply send some photos and your expectation of
price, or alternatively, I'll make you an offer. Your collection will
go into responsible hands, and your effort and love in assembling
it will be saved for posterity.
