| Note | Giant size with 194mm and super heavy masterpiece. The biggest of all affered here WOOOW!! Specimens at this sizes and top conditions are really hard and rare to get. Impressive sculpture , just the best of the best for the species. For aesthetic lovers. Tiny scar almost invisible and some natural chip, otherwise Museum piece.F+++. Searching for these mysterious creatures for years there are some rare cases among them. It seems that most people know only the same typical Malea ringens, but there is variability in colors, sculptures, shapes and sizes. I have found dwarf populations and others where individuals are giants. In this auction you can see some sculpture and different shapes. For advancer collectors. The best of the best for the species. One of my favourite big shells in the pacific with so unique form and sculpture compare with all Tonas species and the biggest of the Maleas species. They are most night active , They are rarely hunting during the day. Hart to find in the day because they are most complete buried. Superb piece!!!

Collected by Eduardo Amador Moreno. Value for this Giant unique: 210-250 euros. MEXICO PACIFIC. |
