Note

EXTRA RARE BLACK COLOR AND OVAL FORM WOOOOOW!! This family is very variable, there are so many designs, colors and shapes that in some extreme and rare occasions they seem to be another species. Here is one of the Conus purpurascens with unique conditions in its most extreme shape and color. The rarest thing about it is its shiny black color with small cloud-like spots, but what predominates on the dorsal part is only black, a color that is extremely rare in this species. The other part of its rarity is the oval shape of its long body, also very rare in this species which is usually triangular. Note that this specimen is only incredible on the dorsal side and the ventral side has slight erosion near the spire and around the apex and growth line between, not really detracting this beauty. The rest of the body is in incredible conditions. Large size for this incredible form. For advancer collectors. Found buried in sand caves between stones and corals about 5m deep. Cuastecomates, Jalisco, Mexico. December 2024. Value for the most black ever found and super rare oval form: 50-75 euro. ATTENTION!!! Dear friends the seller country is Mexico now, please check, thank you for your understanding. Marry Christmas and Happy shelling!!! MEXICO PACIFIC
