NoteEXTRA SPECIAL SALE - PART 5: Part five of my extra special sales comprised mainly of exceptional specimens from my private collection, (indicated with JES provenance in description). Another opportunity to acquire outstanding and unique seashells from one of the world’s pre-eminent collections. ZOILA VENUSTA: Four truly outstanding, high-value venusta are offered in this sale, each representing a different rare colour form. Specimen 3: A superb example of a classic venusta colour form in which the pale dorsum contrasts with the rich pink terminals to exquisite aesthetic effect. Sporadic large, rich tan dorsal maculae, across an ivory ground. High white margins, with background hues of pink. Terminals rich frosted pink. Ultra-large size. Exquisite proportions. Hypermature, with pronounced ventral callosity. Nothing but the most negligible natural irregularities, always present in this form. Meticulously curated, with the appearance of having been collected this year. A rare opportunity to set your own price for an exceptional high-value venusta. Size: 74.9 mm (length). Grading: F+++/F++++. Data: Off Rock Dunder, Albany, Western Australia, Australia; upon sponge, upon limestone reef substrate, amongst sponges and algae; 30 m; dived; 2001.
