Description

Upper lip chipped. Very rare. Very famous and coveted shell. Was named after the wife of Dr. Bosch. Was said to be extinct due to over-collecting and the habitat of this species is in very shallow water so was easily caught. Highly unlikely extinct but an endemic species nontheless. Very difficult to get and very few in the market
