| Item | # 0002062477 | | Family | Cypraeidae | | Name | Zoila marginata orientalis - GLORIOUS / HUGE , Raybaudi, 1985 |
| Size | 60.1 mm |
| Locality | Kangaroo Island, South Australia |
| Note | BEST OF THE BEST.....Few orientalis taken from off Kangaroo Island ever exceeded 60mm. Grandiose. Exhibiting a dorsal pattern of aesthetically crisp deep-chocolate birds-egg spotting, over a China-white dorsum. Inflated and brilliantly symmetrical in form, as evidenced in images. Spectacular margins. Ultra-mature. Very heavy for species. The localities where orientalis were taken are all off-limits nowadays; and specimens almost impossible to obtain from old collections, let alone a specimen in absolute gem condition. An opportunity to acquire the best orientalis I've had. Curated lovingly, and as if just taken from the water. Magnificent in one word. DON'T MISS OUT! Grading: Gem. Provenance: From my own collection. Taken on sponge, 20m; Kangaroo Island, South Australia; 1998. |
