| Note | ULTRA RARE EXTRA WIDEEE AND ELEVATED MASTERPIECE WOOOOW!! GIANT size with 190 mm WOOOOOW!! This unique jewel developed with a very wide shape and extreme elevation of the body like a ball, much more than is common for this species. Some kind of albinistic color form White-cream!!! Very wide spiral ribs with superb conditions. Exaggerated elevated dorsum combined with short fantastic spire with intact apex. The special extended wavy lip makes a great effect together with the outer lip denticles. One of the best apertures of all Tonas species. Heavy , massive , fat and robust phenomenal piece of art. 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 solitary 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 favorite 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!!! Found buried in sand under huge platforms about 5m deep. Near La Vena, Los Angeles Locos, Bahia de Tenacatita, Jalisco, Mexico. December 2024. Value for this spectacular WIDE Giant and super elevated body form: 180-200 euros. ATTENTION!!! Dear friends the seller country is Mexico now, please check, thank you for your understanding.
