Note | EXTRA SPECIAL SALE - PART 6: Part six of my extra special sales comprised entirely of exceptional specimens from my private collection, representing highlights of my collecting and dealing career. Another opportunity to acquire outstanding and unique seashells from one of the world’s pre-eminent collections. ZOILA FRIENDI VERCOI: This ultra-large and magnificent specimen was particularly admired by the late Peter Clarkson, who personally collected the specimen and retained it within his private collection. (The original hand-written Clarkson label accompanies the specimen.) Apart from its ultra-large size and extremely rare perfection, its most spectacular feature is the high, fiery reddish chestnut labral margin, edged in cream, and decorated with large, ultra-dark maculae, contrasting beautifully with the purplish-blue dorsum. A rare vercoi for the connoisseur, with a highly prized Clarkson label. Size: 88.8 mm (length). Grading: Gem. Data: Off South-East corner of Woody Island, Esperance, Western Australia, Australia; upon grey-blue ridge/dome sponge, near base of granite plateau; 21 m; dived; 22 December 1995. Provenance: 1. Peter Clarkson private collection; Port Lincoln, South Australia, Australia; 2. JES private collection; Melbourne/London. |
