The picture on the left is what you will get from all other dealers !
 Ours are on the right after cleaning
No one else cleans your nautilus for you. It is delicate work and sometimes we have losses !
About 95% of all Tiger Nautilus have a black patch of hard stuff on the upper part of the  shell
  It is usually irregular  and unsightly.
This stuff resembles road tar and cannot be removed without special tools and
some one who knows what to do. Even an experienced man will lose a shell from time to time .
 We do this on every Tiger we sell. No one else in the world does this

Tiger Nautilus Shells Description & Fascinating Facts
The Chambered nautilus, Nautilus pompilius, reaches about 35 cm in length. The spiral shell of the Chambered nautilus is thin and smooth with a brown and white pattern. Up to 30 chambers are created in the shell as the animal increases in size and moves to occupy the outermost chamber. The Chambered Nautilus maintains buoyancy through a gas passed through a tube in the shell tube called a siphuncle. This also helps the animal stay upright in the water. Nautilus are the last living genera of externally shelled cephalopods

   Nautilus are prolific in many parts of the world and are not considered endangered at all    

   Naturally Translucent in low light
