| Note | NOTE: Time permits only a small offering this month, so I have selected eight masterpieces from the JES Collection for this sale, each of which represents the very best I have had for the species in over fifty years. ------------- CYPRAEA GUTTATA: At virtually 70 mm, this exceptional GIANT is the LAST and BEST specimen of the JES Collection. Ultra-rich, fully stable colour. Spectacular dorsal pattern, formed with rare regularity and clarity – circular lacunae, and unbroken, straight mantle line. Exceedingly rare at this size and quality. The BEST of the best. A giant guttata for the Cypraeidae connoisseur. Data: Off Langab, Balut, Sarangani Islands, Mindanao, Philippines; upon mud/sand/rubble substrate; 100-200 m; tangle nets; 2004. Size: 69.3 mm. Grading: Gem. Provenance: JES Collection; London / Melbourne. |
