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. HEXAPLEX ERYTHROSTOMUS: This truly outstanding, enormous example was collected nearly half a centruy ago, and is exceptional in size, colour and quality. Re-cleaned by myself upon acquisition from an old collection, and meticulously curated ever since. Elongate spines and apertural shield in superb state of preservation. Apertural shield particularly vibrant pink. Abundant at low quality, but RARE like this. Definitely for the collector of 'wow factor' seashells. Size: 142.4 mm (length). Grading: F+++; w/o. Data: Sea of Cortez, off Santa Rosalia, Baja California Sur, Mexico; upon sand/rubble substrate 2-6 m; dived; 1970. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London. |
