| Note | THE "NOBLE BURSINA" IN THE RARE ALBINO FORM. In shape, colouration and size one of the most beautiful representatives of the genus Bursina, with a thoroughly noble appearance. The present specimen is completely white, but the intact protoconch has its dark glassy dark brown colouring. The callus around the mouth, located at the tips of the varices, is slightly coloured due to algal inclusions. This clam is a priority for bursa experts, but because of its particular beauty and extreme rarity it also fits into aesthetic collections for connoisseurs. One out of several thousand pieces known. The albino is accompanied by a normal piece for comparison.
Albinistic: 58 mm, Philippines. Balut Island. Tangle nets. 100-150 m. 2019. Standard: 57.7 mm, Philippines. Aliguay island. Trawled 100-150 m. 2004.
