Description

Tiny nick on the spire, but lower lip chipped abd canal chipped. Some very fine growth lines, not so bad. Definitely an areola. Never ever seen one offered over 100mm. For an areola to grow over 90+mm is considered very very rare gigantic specimen but over 100+mm is almost unheard of. Very heavy. Your chance to own probably one of the biggest areola ever for a reasonable price, due to the quality. Very good pattern though and very presentable, I put it beside a 90mm and 59.6mm specimen (both not included in this sale) for comparison to see how massive this is. 90mm is already a rare size, usually they are around 50~70mm.
