| Item | # 0002040467 | | Family | Patellidae | | Name | Patella mexicana - BIIIIIG AND VERY WIDTH!! |
| Size | 165X124 mm |
| Locality | Punta Carrizal,Colima, Mexico |
| Note | BASE WITH AMAZING YELLOW CREME OR PERL COLORS. WOW VERY NICE NATURAL SPECIMEN AND BEAUTIFUL FOR THE SPECIES!! VERY RARE NOWADAYS!! This is in my own opinion a rare size and very old specimen, believe me. There is a kind of nature chip inside the base, i don't know why but believe me do not disturb the beauty of this wonderful species. Difficult and dangerous to get them off. Took me about 2 years until i found a place where they live and how to take them off from stones ( between big waves and strong currents). The fisherman would collect them for food and broke the shell to get the meat. They looked for Oysters or Percebes and some times one P. mexicana is there, so they had to wait for the best day (calm day), otherwise its always wavy with a lot of currents and danger. And of course you need to go far from the coastline until you will find a good place for P. mexicana. Whit 165mm and thick heavy this is a very BIG specimen for the species and dont forget this are rough species , its usually eroded and has pin holes, never gem, but this is about as good as they come. Don't lose the opportunity, seldom offered with this amazing fresh quality!!!Found at night attached to the stones at high tide from 0m until 2m deep. Punta el Carrizal, Colima, Mexico. March 2018, By Eduardo Amador Moreno and Alejandro Alvarez Pelayo. Estimation: 65 to 100 euro or more. Lets start with 2 euro Good luck!! |
