Visually great appearing pattern and color throughout with the "hallmark" violet hued aperture inlet. The specimen shows an excellent spire and body whorl. Collected by Scuba diver at 10-12 meters at base of coral reef on sand in 2006 off St. Brandon (Cargados Carajos Shoals), Mauritius. The area is now a marine conservation, protected and restricted area under the Saint Brandon Conservation Trust. The shell shows minor wear of the protoconch. The shell is in incredible good condition, but close inspection of the deep inner aperture reveals it has been fresh dead collected. Grade: Amazing.
