Note
HISTORICAL: RARE YELLOW AND SPECKLED ARGONAUTA. A yellow Argonauta argo in excellent quality and of quite large size. YELLOW ARGOs are much rarer than white ones and are highly prized by collectors. Today the yellow Argo is a great rarity. Added to the yellow is a large piece in white with an excellent shape and an unusual speckled shell. This is the first time that this phenomenon of yellowish spots has been seen "in" the shell. The periphery of the opening is smoothed on this white specimen. The yellow piece is not smoothed and therefore has a perfect natural shell. The chance of getting such a pair is zero. A unique opportunity.
White = 185 mm, Yellow = 184 mm.
