AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The common Distorsio, also known as Old Lady, is a fascinating jewel of the seas that makes every collector's heart beat faster. This sea snail, first described in 1758 by Carl von Linné, impresses not only with its unique structure but also with its exquisite coloration in warm beige and brown tones. With a maximum shell size of up to 10 cm, it stands out in its environment among corals in shallow waters up to 30 meters deep.
Widespread in the Indo-Pacific waters from East Africa to Polynesia and from Japan to Australia, the Distorsio anus is not only an impressive creature but also a sought-after collectible. Measuring 65 mm and weighing 27 grams, this specimen is of top gemstone quality, above average, offering collectors an exceptional addition.
The stable quality and outstanding aesthetics of the case also make it a sought-after trading item. Whether as a decorative element or as an exclusive part of a collection, the Gemeine Distorsio remains an unforgettable maritime highlight.
