Note

ULTRA RARE ORANGE BANDED COLOR WOOOOW!! Once in a lifetime!!! Long time ago I have found one like this and it was sold at very high price. The second one ever found and known Astraea olivacea with this Orange Special coloration, extremely rare color for the species. Do not miss this ultra rare masterpiece, for advancer collectors. Special strong Orange thick colored band going all around starting in the lip to the spire. Marvelous structure and sculpture. Look at this spotted pattern between the green color going all around. Large formidable size with approx. 50mm high x 71mm wide!! The best extraordinary sculpture combined with pattern, size and extra darker dots all around the spire with the vertical and undulated spiral ribs WOOOW!! The single most striking feature is a brilliant spot of strong red-orange at the base of the umbilical pit which is bordered by a black outer edge, amazing!! Natural insignificant imperfections as usual not really detracting the beauty like light erosion near apex, worm scars and natural growth marks almost lost between the pattern and colors. F++-F+++. Ultra rare Orange color form. The only opportunity to get this special exceptional very rare beauty. Found attached on big stones about 1 to 2m deep Playa el Tecuan, Jalisco, Mexico. January 2026. Value for this ultra rare species with the most rare Orange color form: 400-500 euro. Good luck and Happy shelling!!! MEXICO PACIFIC.
