The thick, solid shell has a rather straightly conical shape and is falsely umbilicate.

The sculpture of the upper surface consists of spiral series of very regular, deeply, separated rounded granules or beads, five or six rows on each whorl.

On the base of the shell the rows are more separated, and sometimes have minute intercalated beaded lirae.

The parietal wall is callous, strongly lirate, deep crimson colored.

The umbilical tract contains a heavy white callus inside and is obsoletely spirally bi- or triplicate.
