GEM. EXTRAORDINARY. A GREAT EXAMPLE. A volute that is usually collected dead and is quite rough. Only a tiny percentage of these specimens are in prime condition. Live-caught specimens are particularly rare”. The present form is stable in coloration, shape and thickness of the shell. The condition is excellent, caught alive and with a perfect lip. Only very rarely available in such top quality. From an old collection.
