AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Eburna lienardii bright orange shell.
This splendid Eburna lienardii comes from the seafloor off Fortaleza, Brazil, at a depth of about 40 meters.
Belonging to the Olivoidae (Olivoidea) family, it is a species first described by Bernardi in 1859.
The shell has a well-proportioned oval shape, with a smooth and glossy surface.
The intense orange color is traversed by pearly white bands that accentuate the spiral with harmony and refinement. The wide aperture and the delicate ivory color of the interior add further aesthetic value.
