Note

F++ With some rough lip and a minor scar near canal, but still in very acceptable condition for the species! Nice color and still nice condition for a species rare nowadays at a bargain price! Don't miss it! West Africa cones are usually underrated, in particular Angolan specimens which are usually in bad conditions but for a cone lover this species is a MUST in an advanced cone collection! Personally, as a cone lover with about thirty years of active cone collection, I'm passionate for western african cones so, for me is one of most desirated because no other cone shows a lilac color in all African western coast like this species! If this species were from the Indo-Pacific region, for its rarity, beauty and quality it could surely be worth 2 hundred euros! So, it is a bargain price for the species! Not collected recently! A great shell for Connoisseurs! South Angola, West Africa coast. The label with full data (location, habitat, collection technique and date) will be provided to the buyer. CON02801
