A large marine gastropod shell specimen, representing a spider conch of the genus Lambis. The dorsal surface displays a rugged, ridged texture with natural mottled cream, beige, and warm tan colouration. The shell features seven prominent, flared, finger-like projections, including a curved siphonal canal. The spire and apex region retain a heavy, natural calcified marine matrix deposit, characteristic of wild-harvested specimens. The ventral side reveals a highly polished, smooth, porcelain-like aperture and columella, transitioning from creamy white to a light peach and apricot-pink tone.
