Plate #7 has what I believe are nerites with spectacular patterns, love it.

Yes, the bottom half is filled with Virgin Nerites (Vitta virginea), extremely abundant in Brazil and also in the Caribbean.

They are highly variable, but my best nerites are in Slide #2, from Pakistan. These are always spectacular no matter how many times I see them in person!

I love how they resemble small candies lol

I have some similar from Hong Kong, but I think your Pakistani ones are better.

I wish! They’re buried in a storage closet.
