| Item | # 0002330902 | | Family | Volutidae | | Name | Paramoria guntheri - LARGEST OF JES COLL. , Smith, 1886 |
| Size | 58.4 mm |
| Locality | Australia |
| Note | As a personal favourite species, I acquired several large and outstanding specimens of this supremely beautiful and much coveted volute during the years of availability. Several have been previously sold via shellauction, but the current specimen, at the rare size of nearly 60 mm, is the LARGEST from my private collection. Exquisite pattern. Hypermature, with markedly thickened outer apertural lip. One tiny, negligible growth disruption to body whorl, barely noticeable, otherwise perfection. Now obtainable only from choice old collections, although it is almost impossible to obtain a specimen of this size, as they are tightly held within top-level Australian collections. A rare opportunity for the Volutidae specialist. Size: 58.4 mm (length). Grading: Gem. Data: Thorny Passage, Port Lincoln, Eyre Peninsula, South Australia, Australia; upon coarse white sand substrate; 16 m; dived; 1994. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London. |
