AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Conus aulicus, also known as 'Prince Cone' for its refinement, is one of the species in the family Conidae. This specimen, in the propenudus form, from the coasts of Oman, reaches 132 mm, a considerable size that increases its collectible value. The shell is distinguished by its reddish-brown background, decorated with an intricate pattern of white triangular and irregular spots that create a mosaic-like motif, in strong chromatic contrast. This pattern, characteristic of the propenudus form, gives the shell a unique and unmistakable appearance, with variations that make each specimen unrepeatable. Beyond its aesthetic charm, the Conus aulicus is considered a milestone in malacological collections: a timeless classic that cannot be missing from collections dedicated to Conidae.
