Spiny Oyster Shell
| | Most of the spiny oyster shell, or Spondylus, found in our gallery is probably harvested from the Sea of Cortez, Baja California, Mexico. Different types of Spondylus may also be found in the warm waters off the coasts of Central and South America. Spondylus is Latin for "spines on its back," which is appropriate for this beautiful and difficult-to-harvest shell. It may be found in varying colors from pink to purple, from light to deep orange. | | | | |
