totally agree with this statement except for when dealing with stingrays!i have come to a strong feeling that most hobbyist into rays are in it for the long run and not for the trends. for me a ray hobbyist choices are built on budget and locality.. in the states here, it just seems impossible to find quality pearls or MM. the ones that are here are already in someones collection. which leads alot of ppl to end up spendin more for blackies or settling with average. i STRONGLY beleive the must have stackes are there for the marbles and pearls but us ppl in the state just cant seem to get any!!! we needa start working globally in the ray trade!!!! lol. im tired of seeing crappy leos and crappy henleis! start sendin ur brownies to the states!!!aquaman45;4278078; said:She's a real beauty Ernesto,shes another example of why i feel top quality Pearls and Marbles will soon over take their black cousins in the must have stakes!!....people are already starting to see further than black and white!For me the different base colours and intricate markings of top quality Pearls is what has and always will captivate me,now that black rays are readily available it will be interesting to see how the trend swings.....very interesting!.....most people want what they can't have,however once it becomes common place the desire for that animal,fish or object lessens!
