Large and lovely balanced specimen with impressive orchid violet foliaceous varices and spire, shared with a multi-shaded hued light violet body whorl and a mellow dark violet aperture.

Collected by tangle net at 80-110 meters by local fisherman in the early 80's off Punta EngaƱo, Mactan Island, Cebu, Philippines. Procured from old collection. The specimen exhibits slight erosion of the apex and siphonal tip. F+++/ GEM.
