Note

A solid and notably heavy shell, presenting a refined interplay of ivory and soft pink tones, attractively mottled with brown pigmentation and enhanced by atypical brown linear markings that add individuality and character to the pattern. The thickened, pink lip is particularly appealing, contributing both structural robustness and a warm chromatic accent that elevates its overall visual balance. Its substantial weight and well-developed shell walls attest to full maturity—an important quality factor for serious collectors who value completeness and integrity of growth. Collected in 2003 in Andean forest habitat at an elevation of 2,740 meters above sea level, it represents a high-altitude population—an ecological provenance that enhances its interest and exclusivity within specialized terrestrial collections. A mature, aesthetically distinctive, and well-documented specimen from a montane environment—an excellent opportunity to secure a character-rich example that will immediately draw attention in any advanced international collection.
