Mactra violacea 48.1mm Purple Venus Clam Seashell Natural Collector Specimen
A beautiful example of the Purple Venus Clam, Mactra violacea, displaying the rich violet coloration that gives this species such distinctive visual appeal.
This specimen shows an attractive combination of deep purple and violet bands fading into soft lavender and creamy white., with the natural concentric growth lines creating additional depth across the valves. The broad darker purple areas provide excellent contrast and make the coloration striking against the lighter portions of the shell.
This shell retains its complete paired valves, making it a much more appealing display specimen than a single valve.
