Superb conditions for the species and virtually hard to get with this pattern elegance and well distributed stripes. The real thing for advancer collectors and lovers of aesthetics special shells. Magnificent beauty of nature. This species is very difficult to obtain in top conditions, they are usually full of erosion, scars and worm holes. Many of them are full of calcareous adhesions that do not allow to see the condition of the shell, only after cleaning. Hard to clean the most. In very few cases there are specimens with very consistent and elegant designs-stripes like this ones here. Found attached between stones with brown algae, soft corals and mud. Between 3-5m deep. Cuastecomates, Jalisco, Mexico. July 2026. Value for this rarity with unusual dense striped pattern with the finest possible quality and fresh strong Orange colors: 60-70 euro or more.
