| Note | GIANT RARE SIZE WOOOOOW!! With 137.3mm this is a giant very rare specimen for the Barra de Navidad population. This colossal and impressive heavy beauty is coming with so fresh strong and glossy aperture with elegant black large spot on the base posterior side. The king of thickness, the shell shows the most massive and thickest lip ever!! Extremely thick in the longest anterior wing spine. If you going to get this huge M. regius I recommend to display it with he aperture side , is just so impressive and wide until the columellar lip. The dorsal side is coming with extra thick spiny varices with pink coloration, granulate structure between and pink cream and yellowish background colors. Do not expect a Gem piece at this size but still really nice, the spire and apex almost there between the erosion and some multiple tiny micro holes between the ventral side and spire and even some spines around there, erosion here and there as usual for this enormous size. F++ This species lives deeper in my area and it is impossible for me to find them. Before the cold water arrives, they reproduce by gathering in groups. This year I was lucky enough to find some specimens in incredible conditions, which is rare at these depths. This species likes muddy areas and murky waters, which makes them difficult to find. Without a doubt this masterpieces are a treasure for anyone who wins it. Carefully handpicked with years of experience and cleaned preserving its natural parts. It is much more impressive in your hands because of the details that you can't see in the photos. Super high selection in situ with the best exceptional conditions you can get for this extraordinary and seldom seen species, choose your favorite in this great auction. For any MURICIDAE lovers of aesthetics and advancer collectors. Masterpiece rarity. Found buried in granulate thick sand between muddy stones with oysters, chamas and mussels about 6m- 7m deep. Barra de Navidad, Jalisco, Mexico. December 2025. Value for this very rare Giant size with excellent strong pink ventral side : 180-220 euros. Good luck and Happy shelling!!! MEXICO PACIFIC |
