Cypraea spadicea BIG / RARE QUALITY
57.3 mm     USA     104,00 €
Item# 0004089296
FamilyCypraeidae
NameCypraea spadicea - BIG / RARE QUALITY , Swainson, 1823
Size57.3 mm
LocalityUSA
NoteAs the Cypraeidae specialist will know, although the species was readily available during past decades, it is exceedingly difficult to obtain a high quality specimen, devoid of the natural marks and issues to which the dorsum of this rock-reef-dwelling species is prone. Specimens of the quality of that offered here are RARE, especially at this ultra-large size. Impeccably curated over the decades, with almost as fresh an appearance as if collected this year, with thick, resplendent gloss, and ultra-rich colour. Supremely well-formed dorsal pattern. Very difficult to obtain like this now. A spadicea for the connoisseur. Data: Off San Diego, San Diego County, California, USA; upon reef substrate, under slab; 3-6 m; dived; 1977. Size: 57.3 mm. Grading: Gem. Provenance: JES Collection, London / Melbourne.
