NamePatella mexicana - MONSTER YELLOW RARE!!!!!
Size196x150 mm
LocalityEl Palmito, Jalisco, Mexico.
NoteTHE MYTHICAL YELLOW COLOR FORM AND RARE MONSTER SIZE!!!! 196mm !!!!! First time i can offer this yellowish Colors , so nice so fresh ventral side. Extremely wide exemplar 150mm wide. MUSEUM QUALITY FOR THE SIZE!!!! Just a really heavy, massive, impressive, thick lip and natural conditions. Patella mexicana are really hard to get species believe me!!! Top Natural!! 196x150mm approximately. Very natural conditions specimen on top, lottia sp. scars and one still attached on. VERY RARE NOWADAYS AND AT THIS MOSNTER SIZE HARD TO GET!! Difficult and dangerous to get them off. Took me about 2 years until i found a place where they live and how to take them off from stones ( between big waves). The fisherman would collect them for food and broke the shell to get the meat. They look for Oysters or Percebes and some times one P. mexicana is there, so they had to wait for the best day (calm day), otherwise its always wavy with a lot of currents and danger. And of course you need to go far from the coastline until you will find a good place for P. mexicana. The ventral side is just fresh and amazing!!! Don't lose the opportunity, seldom offered with this amazing fresh quality!!!Estimation : 260 to 400 euro, only for serious collectors. Found at night attached to the rocks at high tide from 0m until 2m deep. Between El Palmito and El Estrecho near la Ampolla Rock, Jalisco, Mexico. February 2019, Collected By "Colo" my father and me; Eduardo Amador Moreno. Lets start 2 euro Good luck!!!! amigos. MEXICO PACIFIC
