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. ZOILA FRIENDI THERSITES: This sale continues the dispersal of my substantial private collection of thersites variants, with seven exemplary specimens being offered. Specimen 4: A superb ultra-dark specimen. Meticulously curated over the decades, with the appearance of having been collected this year. The shallow water Stansbury form is no longer readily obtainable, due to the destruction of red sponge colonies and other factors, and that the numerous specimens I am able to offer represent the fruits of decades of acquiring only the best examples possible when the form was available. Size: 70 mm (length). Grading: Gem. Data: Off Stansbury, Yorke Peninsula, South Australia, Australia; upon red sponge, amongst flagweed, upon sand rubble substrate; 5-10 m; dived; early 1980s. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London. |
