The scale are really extending forming a ball effect. The aperture is just white and elegant with reddish operculum, the lip and siphon are complete. The apex is just perfect and intact too. F+++. A truly exquisite and exotic sculpture. Extremely variable species with all kinds of colors, shapes, patterns, and scales. Choose your favorite in this great auction. A species very adaptable to all types of conditions from deep waters to populations at low tide exposed to the sun light. They usually like shallow and turbid waters rich in nutrients and in estuarine areas with mangroves or where oysters, mussels, Calyptraeidae species and chamas are abundant, which is their main food, they are sea scavenger and I have even found it eating dead fishes between the rocks. Found attached between stones and oysters with mud about 3m to 7m deep. Isla Toriz, Melaque, Jalisco, Mexico. January 2026. Value for this unique rarity with the most extended scales alla round making a globose effect : 25-33 euros . Good luck and happy shelling. MEXICO PACIFIC
