One of the FINEST known, live-collected specimens, with PERFECT, fully mature outer apertural lip and siphonal canal. Retention of original operculum. Seldom offered upon the world market, especially at such an exceptional level of quality. An opportunity for the advanced Volutidae specialist to acquire a first-rate specimen of this elusive and beautiful subspecies. Size: 38.6 mm (length). Grading: Gem. Data: Streaky Bay, Eyre Peninsula, South Australia, Australia; upon sand substrate, amongst seagrass; 1-2 m (at low tide); dived; 2002. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London. |
