| Item | # 0003839797 | | Family | Cypraeidae | | Name | Cypraea lurida oceanica - RARE ASCENSION IS. FORM , Schilder, F.A., 1930 |
| Size | 33 mm |
| Locality | St. Helena, Ascension & Tristan |
| Note | A large, OUTSTANDING specimen of the RARE and now much sought after ASCENSION ISLAND form, exhibiting ultra-rich, beautiful, fully stable colour. Impeccably curated, with thick, resplendent gloss, and as fresh an appearance as if collected this year. Not collected for many years, and now obtainable only from the choicest old collections, this form has become a rare ‘collector’s item’ amongst Cypraeidae specialists. Definitely for the collection yet lacking this very rare and extremely difficult to obtain form. Data: Off Hummock Point, Ascension Island, Saint Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha; upon reef substrate, under slab; 22 m; 1991. Size: 33 mm. Grading: Gem. Provenance: JES Collection; London / Melbourne. |
