I was looking for this species for years!! I know there are some small populations registered for Baja California Sur( La Paz + Pacific), Sinaloa (Mazatlán), Nayarit (Punta de Mita), Guerrero (Acapulco) and Oaxaca (Salina Cruz) But no In Jalisco State registered before, this is one of the first populations ever found in hundreds of kilometers of Coastline. In fact the population is only living between 50 square meters in a rocky beach, very small place, between 1 and 1.5m deep. Seldom seen in collections and for sure in the market with so fresh deep colors, awesome sculpture and impressive conditions. Natural insignificant imperfections as usual not really detracting the beauty like light erosion and micro scars of life. F+++-F++. For advancer collectors and lovers of special and rare species. Found attached on big stones about 1 to 2m deep Playa el Tecuan, Jalisco, Mexico. December 2025. Value for this really rare species endemic from Mexico with the most dense detailed spotted pattern, clear excellent sculpture and green colors : 80-95 euro. Good luck and Happy shelling!!!
