This beautiful golden cream matched pair of Lindapecten muscosus displays a warm, soft golden-cream coloration with both valves remaining naturally paired. Personally collected from the deep waters of Pulley Ridge in the Dry Tortugas aboard my commercial lobster vessel, F/V AVA PILAR, this is a larger and especially attractive color form of this desirable miniature pectinid. The warm golden-cream tones and excellent symmetry make this pair a standout addition to any deep-water scallop or Gulf of Mexico collection.
