AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A 56.5 mm-sized specimen, highlighting a robust yet slender shell, with a moderately angled shoulder and a regular profile. The spire is fairly tall, with an apex pattern consisting of irregular bands and dark speckles on a light background. The body whorl shows a dense ornamentation of axially punctiform lines, regularly distributed on a uniform yellow-ochre background. The pattern appears compact and clearly legible, with soft color transitions and no obvious interruptions. The surface is smooth, with well-preserved growth increments. The aperture is narrow and elongated, with a light interior; the outer lip is thin and regular. A well-representative specimen of the circae form, appreciable for the cleanliness of the pattern and overall harmony.
