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
Campitos Turquoise: Mexico
Campitos Turquoise, sourced from the Pino Chueco and Cananea mines in Sonora, Mexico. Unique in its formation, Campitos turquoise primarily occurs as free-form nuggets in clay, making it distinct from many North American varieties that grow in vein structures. Its color closely resembles that of Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, featuring a range from light to medium blue, often with attractive pyrite inclusions that add sparkle. RRead More
