A rare species and rarely offered. Very good size. Outer lip intact. The siphonal notch is perfect on the left canal with a little blunt on the right canal tip. Operculum present. On the left of the last whorl below the shoulder is a surface area where its not as perfect lustre as the rest of the shell. Lovely lateral stripe pattern terminating at the outer lip. An excellent presentation.
