About Hawaiian `Olepe (Scallop) Sunrise Shells: The Hawaiian Sunrise Shell, known scientifically as Decatopecten noduliferum (aka Nodipecten langfordi) and is often referred to as Langford's Pecten or Pecten Langfordi (Latin for a comb or rake). In the Islands, locals call them "Sunrise Shells". Langford's Pecten is a scallop species found around the Hawaiian islands. The Hawaiian name for all types of bivalves is `Olepe or Uhi. Sunrise Shells dwell on the sandy ocean floor; they are uncommon in sand and rubble in deeper waters. Shells are often beach collected during large winter surf. This scallop has trace scattered distribution throughout the Indo-West Pacific, but endemic in Hawaiian waters and are found between 30-300 feet deep with deeper water finds being more frequent. These hard to locate deep-water shells are highly prized both as specimen shells and for jewelry. Whole shells are always rare to find. Interest in Sunrise Shells began a couple of years ago, but continues to be one of the latest shell jewelry trends in Hawaii, which continues in popularity throughout the world. They are found throughout the Hawaiian Islands chain, but are primarily concentrated around the islands of Kauai and Oahu in the Molokai and Kauai channels. They resemble the Shell Oil logo, only they come in seemingly every hue. Langford's Pecten vary in color and size depending on age, location and ocean conditions. They're unique to Hawaii, one of the Islands' top 10 rarest endemic shells, and the latest star in shell jewelry markets. The attraction is that the shells make fashionable jewelry, and they can't be mass-produced. Each shell found is manually hand-collected in an uninhabited state as it is prohibited to take live marine animals for sale without a commercial license. After ocean swells, the shells of these barren scallops sometimes wash ashore and can be found along the beach. The shell has two halves and each half has its own fingerprint characteristics. Unless you find them straight yellow or green, one will be red or orange, while the other will be yellow. The main colors that are found on the beach are yellow to white and orange to red, but the green ones are the most rare. Mature shells attain an average size of 1.0-1 3/8 inches long. Most are the size of a dime or smaller, but the biggest adults measure 1 3/4 inches or about the size of a half-dollar. On the North Shores of Oahu, they're known by locals as a "Sunrise" shell because early in the morning, at sunrise, the shells would be the easiest shells to spot on the beach as the sun would reflect its rays off the vibrant colors of these beautiful shells. Experts agree they are extremely difficult to find in pristine condition, most say they're tough to find at all. Over the years, their value has soared, more so recently in the past couple of years. Today, asking prices can run into the hundreds for just a single half shell piece or even up to thousands of dollars for an extremely rare, pristine and brightly colorful, gem-quality whole shell. In pristine condition, they are one of the most colorful scallop shells known and are truly a sight to see, as well as own. These shells are beloved for the way they capture the beauty and natural colors of the beaches on which they are found. Sunrise Shells are truly one of nature's treasures found in the waters or beaches of Hawaii. They have become one of Hawaii's favorite collectibles, perfect as gifts and jewelry, and will continue to be so for a very long time. Meanwhile, on the beaches around the North Shore, the hunt continues with divers, and even whole families scouring the sand for this magnificent shell.
