The shell was all cleaned by hand, so this is a true collectors specimen, no acid has been applied. The shell is in fresh condition and looks like collected today, it was kept in perfect storing conditions. A most desirable and very valuable shell, not found in recent years and out of reach for collectors these days, this is an old collection beauty preserved in fantastic quality.
A shell definitely meant for the connoisseur collection!!!
