| Item | # 0003828878 |
| Family | Cypraeidae |
| Name | Zoila jeaniana f. sherylae - SPLENDID GEM , Raybaudi 1990 |
| Size | 70.8 mm |
| Locality | Point Quobba, Western Australia |
| Note | Splendid, mature, moderately heavy and striking jeaniana/sheryae with intense markings and deep blue/grey primary dorsal coloration complemented by large dark spotting on the lateral walls. The jeaniana shows a thick hyper-glossy nacre like polished glass with a gorgeous dorsum and extremities. The shell is highlighted by modest rostration, strong marginal tuberculation and glazed pitch black hued base. It shows a moderate/heavy weight/size ratio with a wonderful distribution of dorsal black maculae and spots fringed in brown. The images do not do this shell justice. Collected with skill by diver Callum Edinger in 30 meters while dining on a blue Spirastrella sponge off Point Quobba, Western Australia in 7/2024. Handwritten data slip from Callum included. The specimen presents four bilateral white dots at the base periphery not considered defects, but a part of the typical non-pigmented areas characterizing this particular specimen. Grade: GEM. |
