Note | An utterly unique and supremely beautiful specimen - the most beautiful magnifica I have ever seen. Greatly reduced patterrn: nothing but a few sporadic chevrons across a dusky pinkish cinnamon ground to striking aesthetic effect. Markedly broad form, best illustrated in the above right image. Atypical, lightweight shell. Overall, this specimen possesses an elegance the like of which I have seen in no other example. Definitely for the advanced Volutidae specialist, or admirer of truly exquisite seashells. A treasured shell from my private collection, now to be passed only to another connoisseur of the world's very best seashells. Size: c. 230 mm (length). Grading: F+++. Data: Off Caloundra, Queensland, Australia; upon sand substrate; 60-80 m; trawled; 1986. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London. |
