Specimen of Mauritia mauritiana (Linnaeus, 1758) Common Name: Mauritius Island Cowry Size: 94.7 mm — the average adult size of this species is only 60–80 mm, so anything over 90 mm is considered very large and highly sought after by collectors.

Discovery Location: Banyuwangi, East Java Specimen Features - The tortoise-like spot pattern is very dense, distinct, and balanced across the surface—one of the best pattern qualities. - The base color is deep black brown with contrasting golden spots, typical of the Bali Strait population. - The body shape is solid, round, and perfectly proportioned, with no narrowing or deformities. - Specimens over 9 cm in Indonesian waters in this good condition are becoming increasingly difficult to find due to overfishing and coral reef habitat destruction.
