Note

A beautiful shell displaying a uniform brown mottling, enhanced by a fine and well-defined dorsal pattern. The specimen is completely free of periostracum, allowing the quality and texture of its surface to be fully appreciated. The early whorls exhibit a delicate pinkish hue that harmonizes beautifully with the lip and apex, creating a refined and well-balanced overall appearance. The specimen presents a few small perforations on the ventral surface, as can be seen in the image; however, this is a minor feature that does not detract from its overall beauty and collector appeal. Collected in the high Andean forest at an altitude of 2,670 meters above sea level in January 2026, this specimen represents an excellent opportunity for collectors and researchers seeking uncommon material for their reference collections. Offered with a competitive starting price, it is an attractive specimen and a highly desirable acquisition for any specialized shell auction.
