THE BEST EXCEPTIONAL DARK Neorapana muricata ever!! Impeccable and wonderful massive and colossal lip-wing fully with several scales and crazy thickness.

The beautiful orange fresh aperture is just exquisite and elegant with the best shinny colors. There are 3 pin holes around not really detracting the beauty , otherwise Gem. The best dark ever, F+++-F++. Very hard to get this species and with this incredible scales-nodules conditions. In this special auction you can admire and choose these incredible rare pieces of Neorapana muricata with amazing scales sculpture and fresh colors, choose your favorite. Do not miss this unique opportunity. For advancer collectors and lovers of rarities and aesthetic pieces of nature. This particular species is always found attached to large stones and apparently feeds more at night. Devourer of marine worms! The body is generally always accompanied and attached by many types of calcareous organisms and algae making them invisible in many cases. You need to have a very good eye to find them, and they are rare. Very rarely do you find good specimens with impressive conditions like this. Really hard to clean taking hours to get this result. The pictures taken are real and we do our best to make the color look exactly like the original. All colors are fresh in my shells as I collect everything myself and clean it before the auction. Some colors such as the orange color in the aperture may fade over time. But usually the color stays the same for months or years. Found attached between muddy stones about 7m deep. Barra de Navidad, Jalisco, Mexico. March 2026. Value for the most dark brown with the craziest colossal and thick scales-nodules ever : 200-250 euros. Good luck and Happy shelling!!! MEXICO PACIFIC
