Description

Volute Imperialis. The imperial volutes are found concentrated in a central location such as the great barrier reefs of Australia and the South Seas. Volutes are distinguished by their distinctively marked spiral shells. Volutes acquire their name from the Latin word Voluta which means "scroll". Visible at the end or aperture of the shell is a scroll. The elaborate decorations of the shells has made them a popular collectors' item, with the imperial volute (Aulica imperialis) of the Philippines being particularly prized. This stunning volute shell weighs 1.76 lbs, measures 9 inches long, 5.5 inches wide, and 4.5 inches high.
