Colour variable, from plain pale grey through to almost black; typically with diagonal interrupted wavy dark bands or tessellations. Periphery of body-whorl forms a sharply-defined separation from the base of the shell, which usually bears spiral grooves and is usually pale with well-defined dark brown flecks. The central part of the base (columella) and adjacent parts of the aperture (mouth) are usually flushed with orange.
