Orange Spiny Oyster Shell

Warm, fiery, and unmistakably Southwestern, this orange spiny oyster shell glows in shades from bright tangerine to deep burnt orange, often with natural banding running through it.

Harvested from the nutrient-rich waters of the Sea of Cortez, orange spiny oyster has been a staple of Southwestern and Native American jewelry for generations. As an organic gem material it cuts cleanly and polishes to a high gloss, making it a favorite for cabochons, inlay, and custom designs.
