It was originally graded F+++ on the accompanying Jonathan Kubis collector data. Based on its excellent overall preservation and appearance, we consider the specimen F+++/Gem. The original collector label notes the lip as subadult.
An especially nice feature of this specimen is the retained operculum, which remains clearly visible within the aperture and is also specifically documented on the original collector label.
The shell retains its original collection data from Jonathan Kubis, with locality recorded as:
Calituban Island, North Bohol, Philippines
The original label describes this specimen as “DARK & BEAUTIFUL!” and further notes its fantastic color, gorgeous pattern and lovely bands — qualities that are readily visible in the photographs.
A striking and well-documented example of Conus bullatus, combining beautiful dark coloration, F+++/Gem quality, retained operculum, precise locality information, and original collector provenance.
