BC141 Callistocypraea leucodon tenuidon – THE REAL THING

Extremely rare specimen from old times, live taken, collected by local fishermen trawling at near 100 meters depth. Adult shell with beautiful pattern and typical white teeth, of good quality. The species isn’t fully gem because a part of the dorsum is maybe polished and there are few tiny natural irregularities: but it is still a top piece, missing in most collections. (K)
