Spiny Oyster:
Spiny Oyster is a vibrant shell material commonly found in orange, red, and purple hues, with rare yellow variations. The colors are influenced by the mollusks' diet and the water's depth and temperature. It can be distinguished from coral by the white variations in its shell. Predominantly sourced from the Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California), Spiny Oyster is used extensively in Native American jewelry. Read More
Fox Turquoise
The Fox Turquoise mine, situated near Lander County, Nevada, was a significant producer of turquoise in the early 1900s, yielding about half a million pounds under Mr. Dowell Ward's management. Indigenous peoples mined the area historically, leading to various deposits being named to highlight their distinct colors, with Blue Fox turquoise—also known as “White Horse Fox”—noted for its vibrant blue.
