Note
F+++. A STUNNING ALBINO IN ELONGATUM: A RARE CONCHOLOGICAL TREASURE. This species usually has a pattern when it is young. It disappears as the shell grows larger: a ground colour in shades of yellow, brown and finally purple. In these shells, the pattern is remarkably extended, resulting in rather light and very dark colours alternating. This is an amazing albino shell more than 10 cm long. It is extremely rare that such a beautiful ALBINO is available. An important conchological object. An amazing and incredibly rare albino elongatum. A once in a lifetime opportunity.
Philippines. Olango Island. 10-25 m.
