Description from the seller

Mikadotrochus Hirasei (Pilsbry, 1903).
The species was first described by Henry Augustus Pilsbry in 1903.
It belongs to the family Pleurotomariidae; its shell is typically spiral-shaped, similar to a helix, with a long opening that extends along the lower part.
This species of mollusk is typically associated with deep marine waters.

Due to their rarity and deep-water distribution, Pleurotomariidae species like Mikadotrochus hirasei are of interest to collectors.

Seller's Story

The Mineral Art Gallery offers minerals, fossils, shells and natural elements. Born in Italy in 2017, today she collaborates with international galleries and collectors, she is a direct importer of large minerals and naturalistic collectible elements; deals with the processing to insert them inside the living space. A section of the gallery was dedicated to the Wunderkammer, "chamber of wonders or cabinet of curiosities" in which Mirabilia elements are presented: naturalia and italiania, a union between "the present is the past". All lots are shipped via DHL Express and Fercam couriers, with insured parcel and tracking.
