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. NOTE: My private collection contained a section for rare 'albino' shells - patternless or pure white forms of species which ordinarily possess colour - four of which are offered in this sale. CYMBIOLENA MAGNIFICA: One of the largest and BEST specimens I have ever seen of the ultra-rare ‘white’, or ‘patternless’ form of this endemic eastern Australian species. In reality, the form is neither white, nor patternless, with the pattern being reduced to an ultra-nebulous incarnation, and the colour being indescribably beautiful: ultra-pale lavender, pink, peach and cinnamon, with creamy yellow-orange apertural interior. Outer apertural lip very lightly smoothed. Superb low, rossiniana-like lateral profile. Size: c.225 mm (length). Grading: F+++. Data: Off Tweed Heads, New South Wales, Australia; upon sand/mud substrate; 80-100 m; trawled; 1982. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London. |
