SPECIAL RAINING PATTERN WITH GREAT EFFECT WOOOOW!! This unusual oval shape shoulder and elongate body shape are hard to get, the coloration between dark brown and purplish colors are rich and dominant between the multiple white spotted rain effect all around, really beautiful and elegant. Some light erosion in the dorsal anterior siphonal side and hole in the apex not really harming the beauty. F++-F+++. This is one of the most Poisons conus in Mexico. Fortunately they are most night active and during the day time they are buried under the rocks, mud or corals. This species can be very variable that some of them do not seem to belong to the same species. Impressive variability of this wonderful species, the best selection of colors, shapes and patterns, choose your favorite in this great auction. Found buried under stones with mud and near corals about 3m to 5m deep. Cuastecomates, Jalisco, Mexico. November 2025. Value for this extra fully rain white pattern dots and dark brown color with oval shoulder shape : 16-20 euros . Good luck and happy shelling. MEXICO PACIFIC
