DUE TO THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN LEGISLATION IT BECAME ILLEGAL TO SELL THERSITES IN S.A. ALSO: Divers can only take 1 per day for their personal collection. FOUND BY PETER CLARKSON WITH THE ORIGINAL HAND WRITTEN LABEL Cypraea THERSITES - P. CLARKSON COLL. BIG 83 mm F+++/GEM - TC 8098 Item number : TC 8098 Size : 83.0 mm Quality : F+++/GEM Only an inclusion near the front end Collected : Australia DESCRIPTION : Same size shell as in last auction and a really nice pattern on the labral margin. This specimen was collected by Peter Clarkson on the North Eastern end of Kangaroo Island in 1999, one of his favorite spots before this area became protected and it became illegal to take shells. For me a TOP specimen again !!! With the original hand written label. A TOP SHELL to remember a great person and diver. SUPER LOW START TO GIVE EVERYBODY A FAIR CHANCE ! On my last 2 trips in April and June it became soon very clear that the supply of Western Australian Zoila from North from Perth became very poor !!! Will be hard to get them in the future. NO MORE SPONGES IN THE AREA DUE TO THE HIGHER WATER TEMPERATURE ETC.

It will take many years for the habitats to recover !!! WINNERS : Please wait until you receive the invoice with a combined cheaper shipment for multiple shells. SHIPPING : Always Wednesday after the auction when payment is received. Photo's : I aim to show details on a shell in minimum 4 macro photo's. Details you may not see with the naked eye. In my opinion there is no such thing as a GEM shell. But I think that if you see no flaws with a good sight and in good light you may call a shell GEM.
