A large and authentic Cassis cornuta, commonly known as the Queen Helmet Shell, originating from the Philippines and measuring an impressive 29.5 cm.

This specimen displays the unmistakable sculptural form of the species, with its substantial rounded body, characteristic shoulder structures and wide, beautifully shaped aperture. Inside, warm shades of peach, apricot and creamy ivory create the distinctive colour palette for which Cassis cornuta is so appreciated.

Compared with our TOP QUALITY selection, this specimen presents more visible natural imperfections, surface marks and irregularities, which do not detract from its authenticity or impressive decorative presence but allow us to offer it at a more accessible price. These characteristics are part of the shell’s natural history and make each specimen completely individual.

With its considerable dimensions and weight, it remains an impressive piece for shell collections, cabinets of curiosities, natural history displays or sophisticated interior decoration, offering the presence of a very large Queen Helmet Shell without the premium associated with collector-grade examples.
