NoteThe FINEST large specimen of this RARE and exquisite endemic Polynesian species I have ever encountered, exhibiting the most PERFECTLY formed dorsal pattern possible for the species: perfectly circular lacunae, encircled with darker colour, in conjunction with a PERFECT straight mantle line. SPECTACULAR labral margin. Very recently collected, it exhibits the freshest of colour, in a particularly beautiful shade. Resplendent thick gloss for a diminutive cowrie. A ‘BEST of the BEST’ fresh cumingi for the most discerning Cypraeidae connoisseur.
