Snailotype? Slimotype? Escargotype?

It often has a lovely blue color . . . sort of like a cyanotype color, associated with many of them. The very old ones, were a different blue and that color blue was lost for centuries. I read a Scientific American article years back and contemporary scientists had found the source of this blue historically. It is a sea snail in the Mediterranean and though there are many types this one was found in a certain area as I remember. The lovely aspect of it is the mucus it secretes turns a sort of purplish blue, like jeans, if put out into the sun. It is the sun that makes the blue appear. Perhaps we could use that source for some interesting spiritual photographs. Jack Mark Nelson Precision Digital Negatives PDNPrint : Precision Digital Negatives Mark I.
