Cymbiola Nobilis Purple & White Form, Singapore, 77mm & 92mm.F+++/Gem-.
Self-Collected.Found only in Singapore..the Elusive Purple Nobilis is akin to the Niger Cowries of New Caldeonia.
This Extremely Rare Specimen was collected Alive by me.It can only be found on a very particular spot along the vast stretch of the coast.
However, finding the elusive Purple Nobilis take pure luck and after many trips i am finally able to catch one.However it is risky for&nbs...p;me to collect as there was a recent scare of the presence of Saltwater Crocodiles swimming in the area of the beach where this form is found.
When this particular shell was first collected it was so deep purple that the pattern was hardly visible.Morever..this is a very rare stage of growth for this purple form.
Prehaps the only very young specimen to offer in the market.It should prove to be a valuable inclusion for growth series collectors particularly for volute collectors.
Thus It is only for advance volute collector looking to complete the growth series of purple nobilis in their collection and also for collectors of rare and exqusite seashells of exceptional beauty.
It is paired with an uncommon "white" Form of nobilis known as fasciata.Only one Set i have to offer of this rare stage of growth. Nafirel's Private Collection
