Note
GEM: SELDOM A GOOD LOOKING, BUT HERE SPLENDID: THE RARE LIVE TAKEN AURICOMUS. A beautiful quality C. auricomus which is a rarity all over the Indo-Pacific, the large majority of pieces that have ever been collected are indeed found dead and are faded. Conus auricomus has one of the biggest ranges in the family - it goes from east Africa all the way to Hawaii - but it has never collected in big numbers. We have 33 figures in the literature at our fingertips and also 52 shells in the Encyclopedia: none touch the beauty of the auricomus here offered which has the particular “PINK” shine in the white.
Mozambique. North Mozambique. Nacala Bay. Dived. 5-8 m. February 2014.
