Note

AMAZING BANDED FRESH COLOR AND ULTRA THICK LIP!! An incredible lip with a rounded, full shape combined with intense colors ranging from white to radiant brown. Extremely thick and colossal special lip. Impeccable aperture with glossy stripes and massive-colossal thick denticles around the inner lip between white and black large spots. Awesome species always hiding in the stones almost impossible to find, with a periostracum with a lot of hair that assimilates the algae between the stones, this species in Mexico is not common and usually comes with bad conditions from complete erosion of the body and scars caused by fish bites. This jewel is in incredible condition and color. Seldom seen species in my area. Really nice thick lip with undulated denticles and awesome ribs at the inner columella side, original operculum, apex absent as usual not detracting the beauty!! Unique Multicolor-pattern-texture. And the most beautiful banding dense pattern you can get, so fresh. Extra thick and extended white-yellowish band around the spire, really unusual. For advancer collectors!! F+++. Found attached between stones and soft long algae and mud about 5m deep. Cuastecomates, Jalisco, Mexico. July 2026. Estimated value between 18-22 euros. Good luck and Happy shelling!!!
