Conus victoriae #12 42.0mm, EXQUISITE NEAR-GEM BEAUTY from Australia
.  The Victoriae Cone is collected at night at low tide; it hides in the sand on reefs, and if it is anything like the Pennaceus cone in Hawaii, it is
most often
found by fanning the sand under a piece of rubble.  Both the pattern and the condition of the shell varies considerably, from a
dark shell
to a
light colored shell
, and from a smooth body to a heavily repaired shell, depending I'm sure on the conditions under which the shell lived in.  This particular especially nice specimen with a vivid pattern on a smooth glossy body, found at Cape Keraudren, NW Australia, is a beautiful near-GEM,
and
as the
photos show, it is an exquisite beauty that will look
wonderful
on your shelf!
The perfect shell for a first-rate collection...
As for normal disclaimers, we do the best we can with photos, but color is tricky, especially since cell phone cameras automatically lean towards flesh-tone coloring, (that's why so many of the photos of shells on eBay show up with more orange than is really there, the camera changes the color, and damm if I can figure out how to stop that from happening, but I try, honest!
As for feedback, as
you
know, sellers live and die by the feedback you leaved, (please leave fives!) so if you have a problem, just let me know!  After all, I'm retired, and all messages go directly to my phone, so unless I'm out shell collecting I will get back to you pronto-like!
Shell collecting!  Now there's a phrase that brings smiles to your eyes, doesn't it!
Anyhow, if you have read this far, you have my apologies and best wishes from those of us at IslandShells323.  And don't forget,
Home is where your collection is!
