| Item | # 0003944691 |

| Name | Chicoreus spectrum - BROWN GIANT , Reeve, 1846 |
| Size | 129.8 mm |
| Locality | Brasil |
| Note | A HISTORICAL BEAUTY, MUCH SOUGHT AFTER WHEN WELL SIZED: THE BROWN FORM. I refer to the ORANGE spectrum in this auction (123.9 mm), the sister specimen of this one. It can be added here that the cleaning of one specimen may take several hours. This brown beauty is large, superbly fringed and forms the natural addition to the orange piece here offered. No prestigious Murex collection without some BIG spectrum today, usually presented in “sets”, one orange, one brown. Today, small shells are no longer rare, and can be acquired easily and regularly. Here a rare “large” brown piece, as seldom seen. A very impressive beauty.
Brasil. Espirito Santo. Off Guarapari. Taken with lobster traps. 40-50 m. January 2009.
