NameCypraea reevei - INCREDIBLE; SPHERICAL , Sowerby I, 1832
Size28.8 mm
LocalityAustralia
NoteEXTRA SPECIAL SALE - PART 2: Part two of my extra special sale comprised entirely of exceptional specimens from my private collection, representing highlights of my collecting and dealing career. Another opportunity to acquire outstanding and unique seashells from one of the world’s pre-eminent collections. CYPRAEA REEVEI: This magnificent live-collected specimen exhibits an atypical, markedly spherical form, constituting an intermediate between the typical form, and that termed ‘microsphaerica’ by Raybaudi in 1980. Indeed, it may be regarded as a large ‘microsphaerica’, coming from the Western area of the species range, whence the type of microsphaerica was collected. The specimen is also GEM, an ultra-rare phenomenon for reevei, a species typically plagued by growth lines, marks and scars. Unlike any other Cypraea, this singular southern Australian endemic species has an extremely light-weight shell when mature, and maturity is established via the level of malleation and ridging of the dorsal surface, both being markedly developed in the current example. Particularly intense pink terminals. Possibly unique, and my very favourite reevei from my private collection, offered here for the Cypraeidae connoisseur. Size: 28.8 mm (length). Grading: Gem. Data: Off Albany, Western Australia, Australia; upon sand/rubble substrate under slab; 14 m; dived; 1986. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London.
