| Note | AMAZING NATURAL CONDITIONS SPECIMEN WITH THE BEST GREAT QUALITY YOU CAN GET ,AND VERY NICE YELLOW VENTRAL SIDE COLORS WOW!!! Patella mexicana are really hard to get species believe me!!! Top Natural!! 156x121mm approximately. Seldom seen with this incredible and rare rare size. Very natural conditions specimen on top fully with all kind of attachments but almost clean as usual. VERY RARE NOWADAYS AND AT THIS SIZE HARD TO GET!! Very interesting specimen. Difficult and dangerous to get them off. Took me about 2 years until i found a place where they live and how to take them off from stones ( between big waves). The fisherman would collect them for food and broke the shell to get the meat. They look for Oysters or Percebes and some times one P. mexicana is there, so they had to wait for the best day (calm day), otherwise its always wavy with a lot of currents and danger. And of course you need to go far from the coastline until you will find a good place for P. mexicana. Whit 156mm this is a very big and old specimen for the species and at this size its usually eroded and has pin holes, never gem, but this is about as good as they come. Chip around lip as usual after remove between big waves not detracting this rare and beautiful specimen. The ventral side is just fresh and amazing!!! Don't lose the opportunity, seldom offered with this amazing fresh quality!!!Estimation : 70 to 95 euro. Found at night attached to the rocks at high tide from 0m until 2m deep.
