Zoila marginata consueta - EXTREME BLACK PATTERN , Biraghi, 1993
Size
59.22 mm
Locality
Carnac Island, Fremantle, WA
Note
On offer here is an EXTREMELY BLACK marginata. It is incredibly rare to find them this dark and may only find 1-2 a year as SPECTACULAR as this. A wonderful dark, spotted pattern on the marginal side because a JET BLACK colour as the dorsum transitions to the columellar side. Along with its dorsal colours, it also has an EXTREMELY GREY MARGIN which exhibits crenulations and is separated from the dorsum by a soft BLUE HALO which is extremely rare in marginata. F+++/Gem- Condition with some minor irregularities on the dorsum but does not effect the beauty of this shell. Images speak for themselves here this shell is definitely not one to be missed!
