| Item | # 0004089296 | | Family | Cypraeidae | | Name | Cypraea spadicea - BIG / RARE QUALITY , Swainson, 1823 |
| Size | 57.3 mm |
| Locality | USA |
| Note | As the Cypraeidae specialist will know, although the species was readily available during past decades, it is exceedingly difficult to obtain a high quality specimen, devoid of the natural marks and issues to which the dorsum of this rock-reef-dwelling species is prone. Specimens of the quality of that offered here are RARE, especially at this ultra-large size. Impeccably curated over the decades, with almost as fresh an appearance as if collected this year, with thick, resplendent gloss, and ultra-rich colour. Supremely well-formed dorsal pattern. Very difficult to obtain like this now. A spadicea for the connoisseur. Data: Off San Diego, San Diego County, California, USA; upon reef substrate, under slab; 3-6 m; dived; 1977. Size: 57.3 mm. Grading: Gem. Provenance: JES Collection, London / Melbourne. |
