Description
A small, globose to ovate gastropod shell with a relatively low spire. The exterior surface is dull, off-white to pale greenish-grey, appearing somewhat eroded with faint growth lines and possibly some fine sculpture. The aperture is semi-ovate, with a smooth, glossy interior that transitions from white to a pale purplish hue. A prominent, strong, dark purple tooth-like fold is present on the columella, a key identifying feature.
