Note

A charming specimen distinguished by an elegant linear pattern that immediately captures attention. The apex is perfectly preserved, sharp and intact, an essential quality indicator for collectors who value structural integrity and specimen freshness. It exhibits only minimal edge wear, mentioned for the sake of accuracy, which does not detract from the shell’s overall beauty or display appeal. The aperture is truly spectacular, displaying a rich deep-violet coloration that contrasts strikingly with the external pattern and greatly enhances its desirability within a selective collection. Such vivid pigmentation is highly attractive and adds significant aesthetic value to this remarkable shell. Collected in january 2026 among the leaf litter of a humid Andean forest at 1,650 meters above sea level by local inhabitants. An excellent opportunity to acquire a visually outstanding specimen with exceptional collector appeal.
