Origin: Red Sea, Egypt
Condition: Natural, clean, and in excellent cabinet condition.

Detailed Lot Description:

1. Leopard Cone Shell (Conus leopardus):
The large central piece of the collection. It features a perfect geometric cone shape with highly detailed, dark brown square spotting. A classic and highly sought-after specimen from the Egyptian Red Sea.

2. Tiger Cowrie Shell (Cypraea tigris):
A round, glossy shell with a natural porcelain-like finish. It showcases deep brown and black spotted patterns with a beautiful natural luster.

3. Black-Spotted Bath Triton (Lotoria lotoria / Cymatium):
A heavy, robust shell with warm orange and beige tones. It displays strong, thick ridges and a beautifully colored, flared aperture.

4. Spiny Murex Shell (Murex species):
An elongated shell characterized by its rugged texture, prominent natural spines, and intricate growth lines in neutral beige and grey shades.

5. Mitre / Spindle Cone Shell (Mitra species):
An elegant, slender, and streamlined shell with distinct orange and white checkered spotting, tapered beautifully at both ends.

6. White Conch / Winged Strombus (Strombus species):
A pristine white shell featuring a flared outer lip and a classic spiral spire structure.

7. Olive / Siphonalia Shell (Oliva species):
A smooth, oval-shaped shell with a glossy cream-to-yellow finish and subtle organic patterns.

8. Vasum / Frog Shell (Vasum species):
A heavy, nodulose shell with a rough, rock-like texture and natural earthy tones, reflecting its deep-sea habitat.

Perfect for high-end home decor, coastal displays, or as a premium addition for marine life collectors on Catawiki.
