Perhaps the world's most valuable collection
of seashells has been put on display at Phuket Seashell near Rawai
Beach on the island's southwestern shores. The emphasis is on shells
from Phuket and Thai waters, which are among the most sought-after
by collectors, however shells from every part of the world are featured.
Wherever they originate, each shell in the Shell Museum is the best
of its type - very often only of its type. Displays have been created
in a logical order, and visitors can see at once differing characteristics
among related species. There are numerous rarities and freaks including
the world's largest golden pearl (140 karats), large sections of
sedimentary rock containing shell fossils that weigh 250 kilograms.
One of the world's great private museums, the Shell Museum is open
