NoteAn OUTSTANDING, VERY RECENTLY LIVE-COLLECTED specimen of this diminutive RARE species. PERFECTION. Acquired for the JES Collection for the first-hand study and documentation of the living colour and nature of the shell, this magnificent specimen is now to be passed to a Cypraeidae connoisseur, that they may also experience and fully appreciate the exquisite jewel-like quality of the specimen. ‘As live’ colour: rich caramel dorsal ground, with well-formed maculae – principal chocolate maculae, encircled with white; secondary white maculae. A rare opportunity to obtain an ultra-fresh specimen to maintain under careful curation, as opposed to having to settle for an older, less well-curated example. Data: Off Hanavave, Fatu-Hiva, Marquesas Islands; upon reef substrate, under coral slab; 22 m; dived; 2025. Size: 12.7 mm. Grading: Gem. Provenance: JES Collection; London / Melbourne.
