I had the impression that shells are primarily collected because of their beauty and intricate designs.

Does it make the shell more beautiful and sought after because of where they come from?   </td></tr></table></p></blockquote>

Dear ysacostas,

<b>No of course</b>, but if you make a collection, Where the shell comes from becomes very important. Same specimens at first sight can come from different areas and so, may be finally different.
If you are interested by the habitat (especially when you dive/snorkle for shells like me), it becomes important too <img src="images/smiley/smile.gif" alt="" border="0" />
For an amateur collector, Shell with no data is usually not bought/traded (except for endemics) or its value is lower.

sincerely,
DAVID
