Note

RARE SPECIAL WHITE-CREAM PINKISH COLOR FORM WOOOOW!! This is the first time I have found this rare color combination between multiple green and brown spotted pattern, cream- pinkish and dominant white Background color. Extremely elevated shape with incredible high "pyramidally" form. The ventral side is really marvelous with Green dominant color except for the aperture side with resplendent pearly effect and thick massive unique operculum, amazing brilliant spot of reddish-orange at the base of the umbilical pit which is bordered by a black outer edge, really impressive. 39mm high x 57mm wide!! Seldom seen in collections and virtually with so fresh colors, awesome sculpture and impressive conditions for the species. Natural usual imperfections for this specimen between growth lines and light erosion, not really harming the beauty. F+++-F++. After transport, You better add some natural oil and the color will be stronger. For advancer collectors and lovers of special and rare species. Found attached on big stones about 1 to 2m deep Chalacatepec, Jalisco, Mexico. November 2025. Value for this really rare species endemic from Mexico with the most unusual darker Green color and superb pattern: 50-60 euro. Good luck and Happy shelling!!! MEXICO PACIFIC.
