SUPERB & RARE IN MOZAMBIQUE!
Perfect tick lip, with teeth on lip (not filled), superb dark pattern (no scars or stress lines) and perfect spire with protoconch; super rare in this condition! It is known that east african retifer cones are much darker and longer than other populations from other regions from Indian and Pacific Ocean. In Mozambique this species is very rare, namely in acceptable condition. This specimen is a superb specimen for this population and well representative example of this rare species there! Always a rare species in East Africa and a great shell for Connoisseurs! DON’T MISS IT! FOR SPECIALIST! OUT FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION! Fernão Veloso Bay area, North of Mozambique, dive about 8-15 mts. on coralline sand bottom, 12/2001
