Crazy natural and intact irregular curved form combined between white and dark brown aperture. The shell displays a unique dark brown color between light brown bands making a great effect. Elegant spire with intact apex. Beautiful dark specimen. Some natural imperfections not really detracting the beauty. F+++.

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. Barra de Navidad, Jalisco, Mexico. May 2026. Value for this superb seldom seen dark brown special banded: 18-22 euros . Good luck and happy shelling. MEXICO PACIFIC
