All auctions / Ethnographic / Exclusive collector's kauri: Mauritia arabica immanis (65 mm
Scientific name: Mauritia arabica immanis (F. A. Schilder & M. Schilder, 1939) – also known as Cypraea arabica immanis. In the German-speaking world referred to as the Large Arabian porcelain snail. Characteristic (color form): This exquisite specimen captivates with a rare, warm gold tint ("Golden/Aureous Infusion") on the dorsal surface. Instead of the usual gray-cream base tone, honey to golden-yellow nuances flow under the delicate arabesque line pattern. This gives the shell an exceptionally warm radiance and makes it a true centerpiece in any specialized collection. Origin & Localities: Western Indian Ocean; collected on the outer reefs of southeast Madagascar (Region Toliara / Fort Dauphin). Habitat: Principally in surf-rich tidal zones and shallow reef plateaus (1 to 12 meters depth), hidden beneath massive coral blocks. Size & Condition: 65 mm – a superbly proportioned, typical shell size for this African giant subspecies. Condition F++ (Fine plus plus): An excellent cabinet piece with excellently preserved baselack. Minimal, natural growth features or tiny irregularities at the siphonal terminus identify it as an authentic, live-collected natural product, but do not diminish the glossy overall impression in the display case.
