| Item | # 0003690950 |
| Family | Conidae |
| Name | Conus princeps - LARGE DEEP ORANGE!! , Linnaeus, 1758 |
| Size | 47.3 mm, w/o |
| Locality | Cuastecomates, Jalisco,Mexico |
| Note | DEEP VIVID ORNAGE COLOR FORM WITH SEVERAL STRIPES WOOOW!! With an incredible 47.3mm this is a real Large size for the population in Cuastecomates. Rarely seen so big and so deep orange. Do not expect a Gem specimen with the best quality at this sizes, I can offer here a real Giant with strong Orange color form , intact lip, siphon and the most exceptional of this is the ventral multiple stripes side combined with oval shape-shoulder form for the species. The dorsal part still so nice except for the scar near dorsal siphon not really detracting the beauty and the spire so beautiful except for the several micro holes around the apex area. Even so the shell is just amazing and in great conditions as usual and incredible deep intense Orange color form. For advancer collectors. The best incredible display is the ventral side with so micro dense multiple stripes around. Magnificent beauty of nature. This species is very difficult to obtain in good conditions, they are usually full of erosion, scars and worm holes. Many of them are full of calcareous adhesions that do not allow to see the condition of the shell, only after cleaning. Hard to clean the most. In very few cases there are specimens with very consistent and elegant designs like this one. For serious collectors and Conidae lovers. F++. Found attached between stones with brown algae and mud near corals. Between 5-7m deep. Cuastecomates, Jalisco, Mexico. March 2025. Value for this seldom seen Giant heavy and robust piece with multiple dense stripes and the most beautiful deep orange color: 55-60 euro or more. Good luck and Happy shelling!!! MEXICO PACIFIC |
