Tutte le aste / Etnografia / Outstanding 100mm GIANT Conus marmoreus - Beautiful...
The Geometry of the Ocean – A Masterpiece of Contrast in Record Size Expand your collection with an absolute sensation in malacology: For sale is an exceptionally large and heavy Conus marmoreus (marble cone snail) in superb F+++ collector quality. With a spectacular length of 100 mm (10 cm), this masterpiece reaches the absolute top tier of its species. Since Conus marmoreus is usually much smaller on average (about 50–80 mm), this is a rare MONSTER SIZE, highly sought after by collectors on the international market due to its massive weight and imposing presence. Rembrandt’s Inspiration – A Timeless Cult Shell This species is historically world-famous: it is the only shell that the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn ever immortalized in an exact engraving (1650). The shell features a spectacular, high-contrast pattern of pure white triangles on a deep black to dark brown background, forming a flawless mosaic. The shoulder crest displays the characteristic, robust nodules. As these predatory snails live in shallow coral reefs, such enormous, old shells in the sea are exposed to extreme environmental influences and are usually heavily weathered. This masterpiece shows fantastically well-preserved patterning and a sharp outer lip – an absolute highlight for any high-end display cabinet collection or an exclusive cabinet of curiosities. Details at a glance: Scientific name: Conus marmoreus (Linnaeus, 1758) Size: 100 mm (Exceptional Monster Size / Giant specimen) Quality: F+++ / Choice Specimen (Excellent preservation, sharp shell lip) Pattern: Intense, high-contrast mosaic pattern (Rembrandt form) Origin: Indo-West Pacific Oberdiek: Conus marmoreus
