Note | EXTRA 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. CYMBIOLENA MAGNIFICA: An extremely large specimen exhibiting outstanding colour and pattern, from the northern end of the species range. As the species progresses northwards, the shell tends to become thinner, and the form more slender. Typical very minor irregularities. Fully mature flaring, 'rolled' and glossed outer apertural lip in near perfect condition. The current example is the epitome of Gebauer's selected name. For the Volutidae specialist, or collector of 'wow factor' seashells. (Note: To provide adequate protection in a very large parcel, I will round down postage for this specimen to 40 EUR to anywhere in the world.) Size: c.280 mm (length). Grading: F+++. Data: Off Caloundra, Queensland, Australia; upon sand substrate; 60-80 m; trawled; 1977. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London. |
