Description
A medium-sized, globose gastropod shell, characterized by a smooth, somewhat glossy surface. It features a low, depressed spire and a large, wide body whorl, culminating in a broad, ovate aperture. The shell exhibits a pale, dull greyish-white or bluish-white base color, often with yellowish-brown or light tan tones concentrated around the suture and on the upper part of the body whorl, extending to the apex. The interior of the aperture is a contrasting dark greyish-brown or purplish-brown, with a glossy finish.
