Impressive granulated exquisite and impeccable structure all around, extremely hard to get intact protoconch, elegant spire, super massive thick lip and the most beautiful white bright color form. Gem. Extremely variable species with all kinds of colors, shapes, patterns, and scales. Choose your favorite in this great auction. A species very adaptable to all types of conditions from deep waters to populations at low tide exposed to the sun light. They usually like shallow and turbid waters rich in nutrients and in estuarine areas with mangroves or where oysters, mussels, Calyptraeidae species and chamas are abundant, which is their main food, they are sea scavenger and I have even found it eating dead fishes between the rocks. Found attached between stones and oysters with mud about 3m to 7m deep. Isla Toriz, Melaque, Jalisco, Mexico. March 2026. Value for this rare white color form with excellent conditions : 25-33 euros . Good luck and happy shelling. MEXICO PACIFIC
