Cypraeaovula algoensis albino
22.4 mm     Cape Point, South Africa     590,00 €
Item# 0003849532
FamilyCypraeidae
NameCypraeaovula algoensis - albino
Size22.4 mm
LocalityCape Point, South Africa
NoteTrue albino obtained back in the mid-Eighties. I believe it was figured in The Connoisseur of Seashells. Growth irregularity on a side of the dorsum, a glazed over sand grain on the columellar side by the anterior tip, a couple of stains among teeth. Yet, a rare and beautiful shell. At that time Dr. Raybaudi mentioned that only 4-5 true albino were known; since diving for shells in the RSA seems to have lost its momentum over the past couple of decades I do not expect many more to exist. Dived alive off Cape Point, South Africa.
