| Note | An outstanding, ultra-large specimen of the Hopkins Island form, and one of the BEST orientalis of the JES Collection.

Hypermature, with thick marginal deposition of nacre; pronounced solidity; great weight to size ratio; and crenulate labral margin. Now obtainable only from the choicest old collections. A rare opportunity for the advanced Zoila connoisseur to acquire a magnificent Hopkins Island orientalis. Size: 59.8 mm (length). Grading: Gem. Data: Off North coast of Hopkins Island, Thorny Passage, Port Lincoln, Eyre Peninsula, South Australia, Australia; upon reef substrate, upon sponge; 33 m; dived; 2004. Provenance: JES private collection, Melbourne/London. |
