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.

It is of a particularly beautiful colour form: peach and apricot infused with caramel and brown. Markedly inflated. Hypermature labral margin. Resplendent high gloss, with no unisghtly streaks or growth disruptions. Very seldom offered from this region, especially at this size and quality, and now only from old collections. Size: 26 mm (length). Grading: Gem. Data: Off Stansbury, Yorke Peninsula, South Australia, Australia; upon reef substrate, under slab during seasonal extreme low tide; 1988. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London. |
