Spiny Oyster Shell
Description: Spiny Oyster Shell, known scientifically as Spondylus, is not actually an oyster but a type of marine mollusk. It features vibrant colors ranging from purple to orange and red, often used in jewelry for its unique, rich hues and natural patterns. Found mainly in the warm waters of the Sea of Cortez, the shells are prized for their beauty and rarity due to the difficulty in harvesting them from their spiny exteriors.
Fun Fact: Spiny Oyster Shells have been used for centuries by Native American tribes, especially in the Southwestern United States, for personal adornment and in trading. These shells are valued not only for their aesthetic appeal but also for their cultural significance, often found in traditional jewelry and ceremonial items.
