| Note | GIANT SPECTACULAR SELDOM SEEN ELEGANT SPECIES WITH EXTENDED UNIQUE WHITE LIP AND COLOSSAL THICK LIP WOOOW!! Extreme colossal thick lip with extended lip and intact conditions. Inside the dominant color is white but around the aperture in the inner and outer lip the color is turning to imponent Orange hyper-gloss color between caramel brown-gray color. This species is most white under the periostracum with sometime brownish colorations in younger exemplars. This beauty is coming with the most elegant thick massive periostracum as natural and with some white-cream colors between absent perio making like a pattern designs. Spire nice with really ultra rare extended apex most of the time absent at this sizes. Some scars near ventral side as you can see on the pictures but nor really important my own personal opinion. Some natural blemishes as usual for this giant rough species not really detracting the beauty. F++-F+++. Normally, these species are found by compressor divers, who usually dive between 15 and 25 meters deep, where most populations of this species are found in my region. I found this one at a depth of 10m meters deep. I was so impressed and shocked to find such a beautiful and rare specimen in this area where I had never found one before. And with such a great and wonderful conditions. Terrific elevated colossal dorsum with massive body shape and extra wide unique form. Superb fresh piece!!! Original operculum is coming. Found walking in sand between muddy small stones about 10m deep. La Calechosa, Bahia de Cuastecomates, Jalisco, Mexico. January 2026. Value for this spectacular giant masterpiece with the thickest lip ever and superb unusual wide form: 180-250 euros or more. Good luck and Happy shelling!!! MEXICO PACIFIC |
