Large Spider Conch Sea shell - Lambis truncata (No Reserve Price)

Lambis truncata Shell — Exceptional Large Specimen A truly magnificent and heavy Lambis truncata shell, remarkable for its impressive size and beautifully sculpted form. The thick, biconical body culminates in a dramatic flared lip crowned by six long, finger-like projections—plus a seventh partially formed spur—creating a strikingly architectural silhouette. One of the extensions even shows a naturally fused limpet (Patella), an intriguing detail that adds scientific and aesthetic interest. Its smooth, creamy surface is encircled by subtle tan bands and glows with a soft natural sheen when struck by the light. An imposing and elegant specimen — ideal as a collector’s centerpiece, a museum-quality display, or a refined ocean-inspired decorative accent. Size: 33 × 19 × 9 cm Plastic stand included
