| Item | # 0002334562 | | Family | Volutidae | | Name | Ericusa fulgetrum - UNIQUE; OUTSTANDING , (Sowerby I, 1825) |
| Size | 127.8 mm |
| Locality | Australia |
| Note | This is THE outstanding fulgetrum of my entire collection. Its first patently evident merit is that of PATTERN: saturated, ultra-dark reddish-bluish chestnut axial markings, which are so prolific as to predominate and REVERSE the typical pattern design, creating an ultra-dark shell with minimal areas of lighter colour. Its second noteworthy merit is the atypical, truly incredible callosity of the columella, with the nacre so thickly deposited as to create a markedly raised area, and adding substantial weight to this already very solid shell. Columellar nacre rich creamy ivory, surrounded by a broad blue register to striking aesthetic effect. In addition to its readily discrenible merits, the shell is rare PERFECTION. Few specimens like this known, and, needless to say, the ONLY specimen of this nature I have to offer. Never available like this on the world market. A truly rare opportunity for a Volutidae specialist, or collector of 'wow factor seashells, to acquire a UNIQUE fulgetrum, in a completely different league to almost all known examples. Size: 127.8 mm (length). Grading: Gem. Data: Off Grindal Island, Taylor Islands Group, Spencer Gulf, South Australia, Australia; upon white sand substrate, amongst seagrass; 20 m; dived; 2004. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London. |
