You'd be better to put the shells in gelatine capsules and the
capsules in airtight vials to keep out moisture.

There are dealers who sell micros, but as far as I know they don't
SPECIALIZE in them... just sell what they get. This includes Simon
Aiken in Wales and Femorale in Brasil.

There is an auction site www.shellauction.net which has a section for
micros, which are often badly overpriced, as if micros are rare (MOST
species of shells are micros).
