| Item | # 0002381093 | | Family | Cypraeidae | | Name | Zoila venusta f. roseoimmaculata - OUTRAGEOUS PINK , Raybaudi, 1985 |
| Size | 78 mm |
| Locality | Recherche Archipelago, WA |
| Note | OUTRAGEOUSLY PINK......Living up to the name bestowed by Raybaudi, a magnificent roseoimmaculata that almost glows pink. Indeed, the pinkest (if I can put it that way) I have handled, and final pinkie released from my collection. This says something about how much I have prized this piece. The dorsum is typically roseoimmaculata (lacking the dark spotting of roseopunctata). The deep pink colour slowly gives way to a soft white in the lower margins, the overall effect enhanced further by dainty spotting to the lower margins. Large for the specie, heavy and ultra-mature. A once-in-a-blue moon opportunity to acquire the best for your collection. A minor nacre imperfection completely smoothed by the animal, and not affecting appeal whatsoever. 200 euro start so I can include images of those amazing contrasting lower margins and marginal spotting. Grade: F+++/Gem. Provenance: from my own collection. Live taken off Recherche Archipelago, Esperance, Western Australia. |
