Note

UNUSUAL WIDE-GLOBOSE SHAPE AND SPECIAL DARK BROWN PATTERN!! The pattern is so unique and aesthetical with some kind of Clipperton Island Conus purpuracens pattern form. Extremely dark brown dense and large spots between the bluish-purple and white colors, the pattern shows a micro tiny banding-spotted pattern with delightful effect. Extra elevated dorsal shape with extreme globose effect, really wide from and heavy thick shell. First time I can offer this kind of special pattern-form. Intact lip, siphon and apex. F+++-Gem. The most spectacular selection for July month with the best fresh colors, patterns and shapes, do not miss this last chance to get this beauty's. For advancer collectors. This is one of the most Poisons conus in Mexico. Fortunately they are most night active and during the day time they are buried under the rocks, mud or corals. This species can be very variable that some of them do not seem to belong to the same species. Impressive variability of this wonderful species, the best selection of colors, shapes and patterns, choose your favorite in this great auction. Found buried in sand under stones with mud and near corals about 3m to 6m deep. Isla Toriz, Melaque, Jalisco, Mexico. July 2026. Estimated value between 20-25 euros . Good luck and happy shelling.
