| Size | 63.2 x 42.5 mm, w/o |
| Locality | EL Tecuan, Jalisco, Mexico. |
| Note | RARE GREEN-BROWN!! SPECIAL ULTRA RARE VIVID GREEN COLOR WITH MULTIPLE DARK BROWN PATTERN WOOOOW!! Large with 42.5mm high x 63.2mm wide!! The best extraordinary sculpture combined with pattern and extra darker dots all around the vertical and undulated spiral ribs WOOOW!! Unique opportunity to get this unique rare species with great spire, lip, operculum, dark dots around, banded, green elegant colors, very clear detailed structure and great large size. The single most striking feature is a brilliant spot of strong orange at the base of the umbilical pit which is bordered by a black outer edge, amazing!! I was looking for this species for years!! I know there are some small populations registered for Baja California Sur( La Paz + Pacific), Sinaloa (Mazatlán), Nayarit (Punta de Mita), Guerrero (Acapulco) and Oaxaca (Salina Cruz) But no In Jalisco State registered before, this is one of the first populations ever found in hundreds of kilometers of Coastline. In fact the population is only living between 50 square meters in a rocky beach, very small place, between 1 and 1.5m deep. I was so lucky to find them only because I found one fresh dead many years ago. So I was sure they are somewhere there. Seldom seen in collections and for sure in the market with so fresh deep colors, awesome sculpture and impressive conditions. Classic light erosion around the spire-apex not really detracting the beauty. F+++-F++. For advancer collectors and lovers of special and rare species. Found attached on big stones about 1 to 2m deep Playa el Tecuan, Jalisco, Mexico. May 2025. Value for this really rare species endemic from Mexico with the most dense Green color you can get and extraordinary sculpture : 80-100 euro. Good luck and Happy shelling!!! MEXICO PACIFIC. |
