This specimen is not fully mature; it is still juvenile - that's why I haven't graded it. This specimen, though juvenile and with lip chipping, represents a genuine live-collected example of one of South Africa’s rarest Cypraea forms. This large, lightweight subspecies of Cypraeovula iutsui is almost never seen on the market. It sells for over $4000 in GEM condition!
