> $950!...was it made of real gold?

Sometimes I think they were treated as though they were!  I saw one once
in a Honolulu shell shop priced at $900.  'Course that was WAY back in
1982, and I don't think they were as plentiful then.  At the time, I had a
live one in an aquarium in my home on Kwajalein.
