Remarkable and classic shell with characteristic convex base, modestly depressed and inflated oval body with rounded margins featuring a wide dorsal line. The heavily nacred specimen shows a sparsely sprinkled buff brown spotted blotch and a strong weight/size ratio (40.9 grams). The kostini demonstrates mild pastel orange flawless extremities, soft ivory/nude dorsal primary pigmentation and a porcelain white base. Collected by ROV at 145 meters on flat sandy, shale/rubble substrate among sparse small sponges, fine weeds south of Augusta, Western Australia in 11/2025. The specimen shows one subtle, barely palpable, small dull nacre area on the labral anterior ramp and hard to notice micro blemish on the base. Grade: F+++/GEM. |
