Conus Gloriamaris are sometimes called the Glory of the Sea. This specimen is glossy, heavy and high spired. The long aperture widens a little at the base. The color can be whitish, bluishwhite or cream, with three poorly defined spiral bands and crowded overlapping, pale or darker brown tent-like markings. These species are not as rare as they once were. Gloriamaris are more or less readily available in the philippines. Their popularity with collectors makes them still pricy. The conus Gloriamaris are found in deep water across the Indo-Pacific region from the East African coast thru the northern Australian shores.
