A beautiful, collector-grade specimen of Scaphella junonia, personally collected by me from Pulley Ridge in the Dry Tortugas—one of the most respected localities for this iconic species.

This shell features the classic Junonia pattern—rich chocolate-brown square markings sharply contrasted against a clean ivory background. The pattern is bold, evenly distributed, and highly attractive, giving the specimen strong visual presence from every angle.

The form is sleek and well-proportioned, with a smooth, glossy surface and a nicely developed spire. The aperture is clean with a soft cream interior, complementing the exterior pattern perfectly.

At 122.0 mm, this is a large, display-quality Junonia, ideal for both seasoned collectors and anyone looking to own a true Florida classic—collected the right way, with full data.
