Gem. W. Samoa. Slender! Note the much coarser, pronounced dentition resembling M. obvelata. Seems that some other shell dealers haven't handled many of these. Here is a great specimen!

F++/Gem. Madagascar. Dwarf and outstanding specimen of this unique variation! Great pattern and unusually good quality. Hard to get like this.

Dead. Tuamotus Archipelago. Extremely rare deep water species! This dead taken specimen is still recognizable and is hard to get even in this condition. Missing from most collections.

Gem-. Panama. Dwarf! specimen and a nice larger comparison piece! Great quality and very lovely shells!

F+. Florida. Rare dwarf and overcast specimen! I have only seen just a couple of these shells with this grayish overcasting, it is very rare! Live taken from the Florida Keys.

Gem-. Live collected specimen with tuberculate margins, exceptional quality. This is the nominate species from the East coast. Rare.

Gem-. S. Africa. Gorgeous specimen of this uncommon shell. Becoming harder and harder to get. Nice size and quality.

F++/Gem. Tanzania. Rare color variation in which the white pattern forms two wide bands. Very unique!

Gem-. S. Africa. Extremely rare variation from the Fish River area. Callused labrum and narrow aperture characterize this variety. Close to the nominate subspecies, very few in collections.

Gem. Thailand. Larger specimens like this one are only coming from old collections. This one is a beauty!

F++/Gem. Mactan Island, Cebu, Philippines. Freaky dorsal pattern! Damage to the mantle and the shell resulted in this interesting pattern. Great shell!

Gem-. Philippines. Mottled coloration and texture on base. Selected specimen!

F+. Thailand. Large and callused uncommon deep water specimen with spectacular marginal coloration! Fine only because of growth flaw, but still a very aesthetic and desirable shell.

F++. Tanzania. Interesting overcasting displays a varied array of colors in this collector's favorite. Great shell!

Gem. Philippines. Small specimen of this often confused species. Great color, pattern, and quality.
