The real thing! This very rare form of Talostolida pellucens that has only been found on the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, and a few surrounding islands. A true collector's piece, missing from almost all collections and extremely hard to obtain.

Graded F++ due to some light growth irregularities on the dorsum (see photos) and some sediment inside the aperture. Fresh dead, not live taken (hence the sediment remains).

A species which is almost never (if ever before) offered on the market. You will likely not come across another anytime soon! Specimens can now only be found from older collections, as the species can no longer be collected due to its localities now being designated marine reserves.
