| Note | ULTRA RARE SPECIAL BANDED FORM WOOOOOW!! Extremely rare to get so beautiful and extraordinary "BANDED" form. This is probably the most hard variation of this species to get and this here has a great size and almost intact conditions. The black-brown thick band is going all around from lip to almost apex side. Magnificent conditions for the species with so elegant brown coloration combined with a fine granulate structure all around. Thick elegant lip with visible denticles , white aperture, intact apex, lip and siphon. F+++. Some minor natural defect almost lost and not harming this beauty.
A truly exquisite and exotic sculpture. Extremely variable species with all kinds of colors, shapes, patterns, and scales. Choose your favorite in this great auction. A species very adaptable to all types of conditions from deep waters to populations at low tide exposed to the sun light. They usually like shallow and turbid waters rich in nutrients and in estuarine areas with mangroves or where oysters, mussels, Calyptraeidae species and chamas are abundant, which is their main food, they are sea scavenger and I have even found it eating dead fishes between the rocks. Found attached between stones and oysters with mud about 3m to 7m deep. Isla Toriz, Melaque, Jalisco, Mexico. January 2026. Value for the most rare variation of all with crazy banding unique form and great conditions : 45-50 euros . Good luck and happy shelling. MEXICO PACIFIC |
