| Note | SPECIAL GREEEEEN COLOR RARE FORM WOOOOW!! Special strong green colored with superb spire banded conditions. marvelous structure and sculpture in all the spire until the apex almost. Look at this spotted pattern going all around the spire combined with fresh dark green. Elevated conic shape with fully pattern in the spire region. Large formidable size with approx. 49mm high x 71.2mm wide!! The best extraordinary sculpture combined with pattern, size and extra darker dots all around the spire with the vertical and undulated spiral ribs WOOOW!! The single most striking feature is a brilliant spot of strong orange at the base of the umbilical pit which is bordered by a black outer edge, amazing!! 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 protected from huge waves by elevated mountains and producing shadow, 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 almost lost between the pattern and colors. 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 Green color you can get: 85-100 euro. Good luck and Happy shelling!!! MEXICO PACIFIC. |
