A very attractive F+ collector-quality specimen with excellent natural color, strong banding, glossy finish, and outstanding overall eye appeal. The shell has a small repaired/chipped area on the body whorl and a minor chip at the tip of the siphonal canal, both clearly visible in the photographs. These minor imperfections are reflected in the price and do not diminish the specimen’s display quality.
