Details

Size: 42 - 109 mm (normal 60 - 90 mm) Location: Southwest Australia These much loved and well-known shells are the favorites of many collectors. They owe this to their natural shine and their stunning colors / patterns. They shine because the animal has a mantle that is completely wrapped around the shell. A specimen with growth is a real rarity and is very valuable. The Zoila friendii is easy to recognize by its elongated shape. Note that this shell looks a lot like the rarer Zoila jeaniana.
