An impressive specimen of Strombus tricornis, belonging to the Strombidae family and immediately recognizable for its powerful, sculptural form.

The shell measures 129 mm in overall dimensions, with an axis length of 119 mm, and weighs 310 g. It displays a robust body whorl, a strongly expanded outer lip and prominent angular projections that give the shell its characteristic architectural profile.

The surface shows attractive natural tones ranging from warm ochre and golden brown to cream and white, with contrasting markings that accentuate the shell’s growth structure and pronounced contours. The combination of heavy proportions, bold sculpture and rich coloration gives this specimen a particularly strong decorative presence.

Originating from Djibouti, this is an attractive and substantial collector shell, suitable for a specialist Strombidae collection or natural-history display.
