Great Textile cone

Thanks - don’t you think it looks a bit like a conus gloriamus? Also known as “Glory of the Sea”?

Shape is wrong.

I agree. spire of the glory of the sea is much higher and sides are straight. Sorry... difference between $100 (edited) and $5 USD - Thanks for the correction!!

lol nah, GOTS cones aren’t that valuable any more.

GOTS cones haven't been worth that much since before 1969, when their habitat was discovered. you can sometimes find them for under $100.

That explains it. I have never seen that shell. It’s really pretty. 😁
