AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Discover the fascinating world of the Vasum snail! This exquisite collector's piece impresses not only with its rare brown color, but also with its TOP quality. With a length of 109 mm, the shell of this adult Vasum turbinellus snail is a true masterpiece of nature.
The snail stands out for its unique design: a low spire adorns the roughly 10.9 cm shell. On the shoulder, the whorls are decorated with a spiral arrangement of small and larger, often eroded spines, giving the shell an impressive texture. The spire features 5 to 6 folds, offering another highlight for collectors and lovers of extraordinary seashells.
The surface shines with a white-brown pattern that transitions inside the shell aperture to a soft yellow-white. The outer lip is adorned with contrasting black spots, perfectly completing the elegant appearance of this Vasum snail.
A must for anyone who appreciates the beauty and complexity of the underwater world!
