| Note | VERY RARE SPECIES IN MEXICO!!!SPECIAL GREEN-BROWN PATTERN COLOR WOOOOW!!! Majestic sculpture and structure combined with clear and marked axial ribs all around the body with green background and some banded and regular brown spots in all the spire-body. Beautiful clear banded and brownish near the apex and at the near spire side. Specimen with 30mm high x 51.5mm wide!! The best sculpture combined with pattern and extra light dark dots WOOOW!! The ventral side is just impeccable and one of the best I have ever saw! Unique opportunity to get this unique rare species with ultra rare complete and perfect apex, seldom seen intact lip and original operculum. I was looking this species for years!! I know there are some population in north of Mexico and south in Oaxaca but between, it could be the only existing population. In fact the population is only living between 50 square meters in a rocky beach, very small place, between 1 and 1.5m deep. I was so lucky to find them only because I found one fresh dead 12 years ago. So I was sure they are somewhere there. Seldom seen in collections and for sure in the market with so fresh colors, awesome sculpture and the most impressive is the light dark dots and extra fingers. It is time to say goodbye and to have a new home. From my private collection. For serious collectors and lovers of especial and rare species. Some minor defects, not detracting the beauty of this fresh seldom seen species in Mexico. Some light scars between the pattern not detracting the beauty. F+++-Gem. Found attached on big stones about 1 to 1.5m deep Playa el Tecuan, Jalisco, Mexico. December 2022. Value for this extra rare species with the best conditions ever: 100-130 euro. ATTENTION!!! Dear friends the seller country is Mexico now, please check, thank you for your understanding. Marry Christmas and Happy shelling!!! MEXICO PACIFIC |
