| Item | # 0002255403 | | Family | Cypraeidae | | Name | Zoila friendi vercoi - RARE GIANT EX P CLARKSON , Schilder, 1930 |
| Size | 92.1 mm |
| Locality | Australia |
| Note | One of the most outstanding vercoi ever collected by the late Peter Clarkson, (author of ‘Australia’s Spectacular Cowries’), with the original hand-written Clarkson label accompanying the specimen. This ultra-large, rare and incredibly beautiful form exhibits magnificent colours; supremely balanced proportions; great weight to size ratio; hypermaturity; and marked callosity to distinctly convex ventrum. Beautiful blue and orange accents around the posterior terminal. One of my favourite PC-collected vercoi, now to be passed to another Zoila connoisseur. Size: 92.1 mm (length). Grading: Gem. Data: Off 1 km North-West of Murray Rock, Esperance, Western Australia, Australia; upon limestone reef/sand/algae substrate, upon large green sponge; 36 m; dived; 9 April 1994. Provenance: 1. Peter Clarkson private collection, Port Lincoln; 2. JES private collection, Melbourne/London. |
