Seems like I have to wait a bit more to "get stinged".
In Portugal we are still in the dark ages in ray keeping and the market is tiny.
Every other month an import with one or two rays comes in. Usually retics, motoros or "castexi complex". Once in a while marbles or hystrix. The same LFS (owned by a nice and serious guy) that imported this one was able to bring a pair of pearls a few months ago. But that's it.
So, when something different arrives...the temptation is big.
I set my mind to get a pair of blackies in the near future so
your info saved me some money and a big future disapointment. I appreciate it.
In time I'll get the rays I want. In time...
