F+++/GEM. A GIGANTIC SHELL WITH A GENEROUS ORANGE BACKGROUND AND A TIGER PATTERN IN THE CENTER. This is the second largest rastellum out of a total of 441 pieces we have worked on in 14 years. Rastellum is becoming increasingly rare as the government has introduced strict controls on "hooka" diving. This shell is a welcome piece even for advanced collectors. It takes many tens of thousands of dives to find shells of this size.
Philippines. Bohol. Panglao. 20-40 m. 2015.
