I can only imagine this photo has been seen by some already but I just stumbled across it today. This has got to be one of the best examples of Conch "flame" out there.

Wow, mesmerizing flame, to say the least! I wonder if the color is truly that puple-pink, if so, seems that would be extraordinary also.

Tino Hammid is a famous gem photographer. I am surprised that such a nice photo was wandering around the internet without an accompanying article. Awesome beauty!

Tino Hammid is an AMAZING gem photographer, no doubt the pearl is excellent but the ability of the Photographer certainly helps.

(I confess bias though... I'm a big fan of his gemstone photographs)
