NoteLARGE AND UNUSUAL BROWN COLOR FORM IN BARRA DE NAVIDAD!! Conus purpurascens inside the Lagoon are really rare. I was so surprised after I have found this in the middle of nowhere between only mud and buried. Large size and really different shape, colors and pattern as usual for the ones in the open see. Heavy and thick. A few natural imperfections but still really beautiful for this giant and the most elegant is the dark brown dominant spotter color form. F+++-F++.The most spectacular selection for August month with the best fresh colors, patterns and shapes, do not miss this unique 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. barra de Navidad, Jalisco, Mexico. August 2026. Estimated value between 16-22 euros . Good luck and happy shelling.
