Corculum cardissa f. kirai - ORANGE , Shikama, 1964
Size
37.5 mm
Locality
Philippines
Note
F+++. "Kirai" has one side with alternating pink or purple bands all round. Because of the strange pastel colour of these bands, it is highly sought after by collectors. It is so rare that the chances of collecting one yourself are close to zero. This is the first time we have seen a kirai where the bands are not purple or pink, but ORANGE-red in colour. Possibly unique.
