Description

Trawled in about 350m deep, Dec 2017. Big chip on the lip and a hole about 1mm on the spire. I have seen this many times from Chinese dealers, I assume they created this hole to remove the smell from the shell but it destroys the value. Shame this was a nice specimen until bad packing caused the lip to chip and the hole. Thus offering up at cheap price just for me to cover the shipment cost.
