| Family | Cypraeidae |
| Name | Zoila venusta - EXCEPTIONAL SPECIAL COL. , Sowerby I, 1847 |
| Size | 68.1 mm |
| Locality | Australia |
| Note | An exceptional, ‘top of the line’ specimen of extraordinary beauty, from the great ‘old days’ of deep-water Zoila diving. Extremely rare quality. Rare and beautiful colour: antique ivory ground to dorsum, overlaid with regions of golden ginger, then decorated with large tan maculae to spectacular aesthetic effect; ultra-high bluish pink ‘frosted’ margins. Very high dorsum, with steep acclivity, creating an eludens-like form. Most collectors will not appreciate how difficult it is to obtain a venusta of this quality and beauty. The BEST of the best for the most discriminating Zoila connoisseur. Data: Two Peoples Bay, Albany, Great Southern Region, Western Australia, Australia; upon granite reef substrate, upon sponge; 48 m; dived; 1999. Size: 68.1 mm. Grading: Gem. Provenance: JES Collection; London / Melbourne. |
