The Spiny Oyster gemstone is actually the colorful shell that comes from the species Spondylus varius also known as the Spiny Oyster or Thorny Oyster. The Thorny Oyster is a bivalve mollusk that dwells primarily in tropical ocean waters. They can be found along the coasts of North Carolina all the way down to the waters near Brazil. It is a stunning animal to look at, and it is often a subject for underwater photography. The dazzling shells of the Thorny Oyster are rare finds and they're treasured for their beautiful red, brown, yellow, purple, and white colors.
