Item# 0003461327
FamilyCypraeidae
NameMauritia arabica asiatica f. gibba - FAT BOY , Coen 1949
Size69.3 mm
LocalityPhuket Island, Thailand
NoteExtraordinary, larger and "fat boy" example of the "gibba" arabica form of this lovely species. The shell exhibits calloused, strongly tuberculated and flared porcelain-like margins as if on steroids with intense black/brown lateral wall and marginal spotting. The balanced heavenly pattern is layered with a hint of subtle banding over a neutral dorsum background primary color. The shell has an amazing weight/size ratio, perfect extremities and brilliant glossy nacre. Hard to find this league of gibba anywhere. The shell was collected by sea gipsy divers at 4-6 meters on a local reef off south Phuket Island, Thailand in 1/2001. The specimen has no visually notable flaws, but only insignificant subnacre blemishes seen under scrutiny. Grade: GEM minus.
