| Note | EXTRA SPECIAL SALE - PART 6: Part six of my extra special sales 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 ANGELICAE: A very large and truly exceptional specimen. Superb symmetrical, markedly inflated form. Beautiful mottled golden ochre dorsal colours. Ultra-high and ultra-dense white marginal frosting, with background hues of pink. This specimen was acquired in 1973, at the time its description was being prepared, and was one of the original specimens collected by the Greek shrimp trawler Evangalistria. The specimen has been meticulously curated ever since, and appears as fresh as if collected this year. Now extremely difficult to obtain at this size and quality. An angelicae for the connoisseur. Data: Off Bissau, Guinea-Bissau; upon sand/mud substrate; 90-140 m; c.1973. Size: 22.2 mm (length). Grading: Gem. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London. |
