AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful Lambis Lambis shell - a type of tropical sea snail from the family Strombidae, characterized by a fanciful shell shape, usually attractively colored. One of its most striking features is the expanded outer lip, decorated with six hollowed marginal fingers. These digits show subtle differences in shape between sexes in this species, as the three most forward fingers are short and bent backward in males, and longer and dorsally curved in females. The shell's color is highly variable; externally, it is white or cream and often has brown, purple, or bluish-black spots. The interior is translucent and can be pink, orange, or purple. Dimensions: 60/95/170mm. Highly recommended for collectors and interior decorators.
