| Size | 46.3 mm |
| Locality | Philippines |
| Note | This truly outstanding specimen formed a pair within my private collection with the superb specimen sold in the previous shellauction. Yet the current specimen is of a completely different nature to the previous example, exhibiting an atypical pattern, composed principally of multitudinous small, pointillistic maculae, which clearly delineate the most PERFECTLY FORMED mantle line I have ever seen in the species. In addition, the specimen exhibits exceedingly rich colour and ultra-resplendent thick gloss. Perfection in a rare form for the Cypraeidae connoisseur. Size: 46.3 mm (length). Grading: Gem. Data: Off Tinina, Balut, Sarangani Islands, Davao del Sur, Mindanao, Philippines; upon mud/sand/rubble substrate; 100-200 m; tangle nets; 2016. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London. |
