Note

A remarkably large specimen for its genus, distinguished by an elegant and eye-catching pattern of linear ornamentation. The apex is exceptionally well preserved, an important quality feature for discerning collectors who value structural integrity and well-preserved specimens. The aperture is truly spectacular, displaying a rich and intense violet coloration that contrasts strikingly with the external patterning and gives this shell exceptional visual appeal and outstanding display value within a select reference collection. Collected in January 2026 among the leaf litter of a humid Andean forest at an altitude of 1,650 metres above sea level, by local inhabitants. A particularly attractive and impressive specimen, offering collectors the opportunity to acquire a distinctive shell with excellent size, striking coloration, and strong display presence in an international auction.
