About the stone: 

XXXXX

Spiny oyster shell is a natural shell found in the Sea of Cortez off Baja California, Mexico. It is known for its rich colors, varying from deep reds and oranges to bright purples and whites. It has been a staple in Southwestern jewelry traditions, valued for both its aesthetic appeal and energetic properties. The shell's coloration directly correlates with its harvest depth where shells found near the surface exhibit lighter hues (white to pale orange), while deeper waters yield darker specimens (red-orange to purple). The rare purple variety is considered the most precious among collectors. Garnering its energy from the sea, spiny oyster is a symbol of protection and resilience.
