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 it is referred to as the Large Arabian porcelain snail. Special feature (color form): This exquisite specimen captivates with a rare, warm golden hue ("Golden/Aureous Infusion") on the dorsal surface. Instead of the usual gray-cream base tone, honey- to golden-yellow nuances flow beneath the delicate arabesque 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 (Toliara Region / Fort Dauphin). Habitat: Primarily in wave-battered tidal zones and shallow reef plateaus (1 to 12 meters deep), concealed under massive coral blocks. Size & preservation: 65 mm – an excellently proportioned, typical shell size for this African giant subspecies. Condition F++ (Fine plus plus): An outstanding cabinet piece with excellently preserved basal lacquer. Minimal, natural growth features or tiny irregularities at the siphonal ends identify it as an authentic, living-collected natural product, yet do not diminish the glossy overall impression in the display case.
