Leporicypraea mappa - BIG OPALESQUE , STUNNING AESTHETIC APPEAL
Size
84.0 mm
Locality
Palawan, Philippines
Note
BIG OPALESQUE......A large fella enjoying the finest opalized porcelain, pink-purple-opaque, over the base and wrapping both lower margins. Luscious pink terminals. Dusty-pink upper decks. Ultra-mature. Ultra-callous. Extremely heavy, in keeping with the very best opalesque. A few minor blemishes neither here nor there and outweighed unreservedly by its strong suits. A phenomenon of leporicypraea and a favourite variation. Grade: F+++/Gem. Provenance: from my own collection. By local fishermen; Palawan, Philippines.
