Size

Zanzibar, Tanzania
Note
Standout shell with flawless nacre shine, extremities and porcelain white base. The distribution of lovely crisp and sharp lacunae that appear to pop off the dark brown dorsal coat generate a memorable visual impression. With an excellent oval pyriform shape and slightly depressed form with flawless extremities, the shell becomes highly collectable. Taken by free diver at 2-3 meters under stones off Zanzibar, Tanzania in the 90s. The shell shows no detectable defects. Grade: GEM.
