Description

Firstly I must note tha glaucocerinites are not coming out of Lavrion anymore. I haven't seen any new finds in years and all the specimens I have ever had were from old collections. This is no exception. It is small but it is a wonderful example of the species with excellent color. Its form is quite unique as it resembles a hemisphere of some sort. It is a fine type-locality example and nowadays these are very rare!
