NoteEXTRA 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. CYPRAEA FELINA FABULA: In a different league to most specimens offered, this truly 'fabula' specimen was acquired in the old days of Arabian Gulf availability, and was selected at the time from around a dozen superb shells as being the biggest, broadest, heaviest, darkest, and most symmetrical. Markedly inflated form. Hypermature, with pronounced ventral and marginal callosity, and great weight to size ratio. Enormous ultra-dark chocolate marginal maculae. Meticulously curated, with the appearance of having been collected this year. Completely stable colour. Specimens like this now obtainable only from old collections. Data: Off Muscat, Oman; upon reef substrate, at extreme low tide; 1979. Size: 18.8 mm (length). Grading: Gem. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London.
