Note

A magnificent and exceptionally heavy (72.0g) specimen of Zoila friendii vercoi from a prestigious private collection (1950-2010). This mature shell, representative of the desirable vercoi subspecies, stands out due to its remarkable electric blue hues vividly present at the posterior and anterior siphonal canals, with delicate blue brushstrokes along the lower margins. The dorsum features a dense, high-gloss chocolate-brown pigmentation over a sophisticated lavender-cream ground. It possesses a solid, porcelain-like callous and a perfect elongated silhouette. Grade: F+++/GEM. Note: Photos are unedited and captured with a Nikon D3200 camera using an AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens. Please feel free to request additional high-resolution photos if desired, as the image quality here may be limited. Includes original collector's handwritten data slip (identifying as vercoi / Albany).
