AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Species: Tiger porcelain cowrie (Cypraea tigris, Linnaeus, 1758)
Size: 105 mm (Large superb specimen; exceeds the magical 100 mm threshold for collectors)
Origin: Madagascar (Famed for heavy, intensely contrasted colored shells)
Quality: Absolute top quality (GEM) – flawless, mirror-brilliant gloss, perfect shell lip and teeth, with no scratches or growth defects.
Condition: Very heavy specimen with perfectly pronounced, deep-dark stippling on a white to cream-colored base.
Collector value: High. While small Cypraea tigris are mass-market, flawless GEM pieces over 100 mm are highly sought after. Every extra gram and every millimeter over the 100 mm mark significantly increases the value for collectors.
