Note
SELDOM SEEN YELLOW AND SPECKLED ARGONAUTA. A yellow Argonauta argo in excellent quality and of a rather big size. YELLOW ARGO are much fewer than white ones and much appreciated by collectors. Today, the yellow argo is a grand rarity. We add a large piece in white with a superb shape and an unusually speckled shell. The first time we see this phenomenon of yellowish spots "in" the shell. The periphery of the aperture has been smoothed in this white specimen. The yellow piece is not smoothed and as such it has a perfect natural shell. The chance of getting such a pair is zero. A unique opportunity.
White = 185 mm, Yellow = 184 mm.
