With a stunning diameter of 90 mm, this specimen breaks all typical size boundaries of its family and represents a rare MONSTER SIZE. While moon snails are usually small, inconspicuous beach jewels, this piece is a true, fully grown giant. A gleaming work of art of the tides The genus Neverita is famous for its flat-spherical shell architecture and the extremely smooth, porcelain-like surface. The absolute highlight of this species is the underside: the deep umbilicus is partially hidden by a characteristic, two-part and dark brown to reddish colored callus (hardened tissue), which gives the shell a fascinating aesthetic. Since these snails live buried in sand and are exposed to the tides, almost all large shells bear rough beach marks, fine cracks, or matte zones. A gigantic specimen in this perfectly undamaged condition with flawless deep luster is an absolute world rarity.
