Conus gloriamaris VERY RARE 140.4 mm GIANT
140.4 mm     Philippines     205,00 €
Item# 0003990290
FamilyConidae
NameConus gloriamaris - VERY RARE 140.4 mm GIANT , Chemnitz, 1777
Size140.4 mm, w/o
LocalityPhilippines
NoteThe advanced collector will be aware of the supreme difficulty of obtaining a truly GIANT specimen of this ‘classic’ species of superb quality. Virtually all examples of 130 mm+ exhibit substantial growth disruptions, along with other flaws, and the pattern becomes wayward, to unsightly, upon account of the ‘stop-start’ slow incremental growth of hypermature examples. By contrast, the current specimen, at 140 mm, exhibits a beautiful regular pattern, in rich colours, and its single restricted growth disruption occurs upon the ventral, (non-display) side. (Image available upon request, as above images illustrate the magnificent nature of the shell in all other respects.) It is exceedingly difficult to obtain a specimen of 140 mm+ now, with those few known coming only from old collections. As rare and coveted a ‘collector’s item’ at this size today as it was in the past. Data: Davao Gulf, Davao, Mindanao, Philippines; upon sand/mud substrate; 100-200 m; tangle nets (lumun-lumun); 1996. Size: 140.4 mm. Grading: Gem; w/o. Provenance: JES Collection; London / Melbourne.
