Estimate: $45,000 - $55,000. Fig Rocks, I helped clean one of those some time ago. What you don't really see in the photo is how thin and fragile the frill is. Some people pack extra matrix behind it for protection/support as in this specimen. Some people live on the edge and expose the whole frill.

Boesse Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 hmm... a very illegally acquired specimen; extremely illegal if it was collected from Mongolia (which is probably why they convienently label it as 'central asia'... Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
