| Family | Conidae |
| Name | Conus archon - SPECIAL PATTERN GIANT!!! , Broderip, 1833 |
| Size | 64.3 mm |
| Locality | Offshore Barra de Navidad,Mexico |
| Note | ULTRA RARE GIANT WITH IMPRESSIVE UNIQUE PATTERN!! With 64.3mm this is a really giant and superb hard to get at this massive sizes. The pattern is just Tremendous with a kind of 3D effect between the brown figures and shadows effect, really incredible and crazy. The spire is concavely elevated, not coronated. The body whorl is smooth and slightly striate below. The shell is irregularly marbled with chestnut and white, with equidistant chestnut revolving lines bearing white spots. One of the most spectacular spire pattern I have ever seen with shiny conditions and intact apex. Some tiny scars between and natural usual grow marks for this giant size, not really detracting the beauty of this rare population in Barra de Navidad now absent and never found again. A unique opportunity to obtain these once-in-a-lifetime rarity. This species has never been found again in the same area, offshore from Barra de Navidad. Perhaps they are now living at greater depths or are extinct. Every year a few Shrimp boats are coming to this Region looking for shrimps but they have never found again this population of Conus archon. Do not miss this unique opportunity to get this impossible to get population nowadays. For advancer collectors. F+++-F++. Dredged by shrimp boats in mud at a depth of between 60m and 80m. A few Miles offshore from Barra de Navidad, Jalisco, Mexico. February 1995. Value for this Giant extremely rare beauty: 150-200 euros. Good luck and Happy shelling!!! MEXICO PACIFIC |
