Inside the lagoon of Barra de Navidad there is a population with superb conditions but really hard to find, they camouflage between dense thick mud-algae and most of them are completely buried making almost impossible sometimes to find. Only for professional and advancer divers. For advancer collectors and lover of aesthetics shells. Found in muddy bottom attached between stones about 6m deep. Barra de Navidad, Jalisco, Mexico. March 2026. Value for this dense dark special brown color with superb spines and Museum conditions: 45-55 euro. Good luck and Happy shelling!!! MEXICO PACIFIC
