Note

An interesting specimen displaying a distinctive pattern of grey and brown banding across the teleoconch, creating a subtle yet attractive chromatic contrast. The protoconch is chipped, the dorsal surface presents a perforation and signs of natural erosion, all fully consistent with its environmental history and exposure in situ — features that testify to its authentic field origin rather than artificial alteration. Collected by local inhabitants among leaf litter in humid Andean forest at 1650 meters above sea level, a noteworthy elevational range that contributes meaningful ecological and biogeographical context to the specimen. An excellent opportunity for collectors and researchers seeking uncommon Andean material at a competitive starting price. Particularly suitable for reference collections, comparative studies, or for those who appreciate the intrinsic scientific and documentary value of specimens from challenging highland habitats — rarely represented in the international auction arena.
