Description: .About this shell: Pectinidae Anguipecten Picturatus - Rare - Special Color - Okinawa Author: Dijkstra, 1995Common Name: Nankai-nishiki ScallopSize: 26.97 mmLocality: Seragaki, Okinawa, JapanOrigin: Collected live at 100 feet - Jul 1977We were lucky enough to find this specimen live during one of our dives in the Okinawan waters nearly 50 years ago. This is a very nice, rare specimen that is absolutely gorgeous with a spectacular pattern and special color. This is part of our late father’s large collection of seashells he obtained while stationed on Okinawa, Japan in 1974-1978. His interests in shells grew from more than the Indo-Pacific species when he engaged in trading his shells with some of the prominent collectors around the world. He was an avid scuba diver and seashell collector. The results of many deep dives led to the creation of a collection of some of the best shells Okinawa had to offer. Ted’s shells have been cared for and stored for the past 50 years. All are in excellent condition. My sister and I are listing shells after researching them for value, quality and uniqueness. We are not conchologists and are giving our opinion on the condition and quality of the shell when compared to other listings. Thanks for considering this shell, something must have caught your attention. Open to reasonable offers. Please check out our feedback provided by the many satisfied seashell buyers.
