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. NOTOVOLUTA KREUSLERAE: The pair to the ultra-large specimen sold in a recent auction, at almost 90 mm, this is the largest and most outstanding kreuslerae I have ever handled. Magnificent colour and pattern: pinkish cream ground, with large caramel-ochre maculations, and pinkish white triangular markings. Virtual perfection, with nothing but one extremely tiny loss to completely natural outer apertural lip. Hypermature, with thickened outer apertural lip. Now almost impossible to obtain at this size and quality, coming only from old collections. Size: 88.5 mm (length). Grading: F++++. Data: Off Taylor Island, Spencer Gulf, Yorke Peninsula, South Australia, Australia; upon sand substrate; 20-40 m; dived; 1990. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London. |
