Size: Impressive total length of 16 cm (160 mm)
Condition / Grading: GEM Grade (highest attainable collecting level; absolutely flawless)
Special Highlight: Includes original operculum (the horn-colored lid is loose alongside or perfectly placed in the aperture)

Surface & Color: Mirror-smooth, silky-matte sheen with noble shades of fine beige, ivory, and warm cocoa brown

Condition Description
The shell as well as the operculum are in a pristine collectors’ dream state (GEM). The piece shows no cracks, chips, artificial grinding, or growth defects.
