| Note | WE ARE BACK FOR 2026!! After a busy few months at the end of 2025 we took a short break from the auction; but now we have returned and are ready for a HUGE year offering many exceptional shells! Here is the PINNACLE of Zoila from the greater Perth/Fremantle Region. Very rarely do well let this EXTREMELY RARE COLOUR FORM go outside of our collection but this is one of the few specimens we have ever offered for sale. A SUPERB BURNT ORANGE and GOLDEN DORSUM is surrounded by PINK and PURPLE MARGINS which sweep effortlessly around the specimen. Furth onto the base which is easily the STRONGEST GOLD COLOUR I HAVE SEEN. There are very few words that truly describe the SHEER AMAZEMENT of this INCOMPARIBLE specimen of which another will not be available for offer for some time! Gem- with some minor dorsal inclusions but otherwise perfect. Live taken on the floor of a large limestone cavern amongst sponges and sand at 32m. North of Rottnest Island, W.A. January 2026 *Further images are available on request* From the Daly Collection: Perth / Dampier |
