120m depth, live taken specimen shell. A much beloved ivory white species which is not easily found in gem quality, mostly because of its ill habit to encrust sand and small patches of mud in its nacre, a fact which is well enough known from other Umbilas sharing the deep sea muddy bottom, but these imperfections look really very ugly on these white shells; and what a kind of white it is! Milky white sounds nice but would not meet the point because this beauty has a ghastly shine of silvery white moonlight! A beautiful and absolutely clean piece, very inflated and pearshaped and very large, this is one of the best! Superb condition, even for the experienced connoisseur this shell might result tempting.

Live taken specimen shell. Contrasting patten with snowy white base and laterals which make the caramel and golden dorsum look very special. The specialist however will be drawn to this piece because of its twisted and elongated terminals which have a duckbill like appearance and which sometimes call for subspecific rank according to some authorities. Very selected piece of flawless growth and all natural of course.

Poor data. My estimation: Bass Strait

Live taken off Australia. This beautiful, large specimen has wonderful coloration with great deep gloss. This is in gem condition.
