GOLDISH!
This is not a GOLDEN FORM! Maybe unscrupulous dealers could call this as “GOLDEN FORM” as I have seen in many Conidae species! This is a dead collected shell with oxidated and faded colors. Anyway, in my opinion, it is a very interesting item in a Conidae collection! Almost perfect untouched lip, nice spire and still shine body, well sized auricomus! That’s why I gradded it as “F++”. Still a great shell for Connoisseurs! OUT FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION! Fernão Veloso Bay, North of Mozambique; dive 5-10 mts. 2001
