Our “Choose your Stone” listings are inspired by the fact that certain stones are completely unique and one of a kind. In order for you to get exactly what you want, you choose the exact stone and we will make your piece in the style of the original photographed in the listing. This is considered a custom order listing and is not returnable for refund or exchange.Spiny Oyster was used by Native American artists to make inlays in fine jewelry. It comes from the shell of the bivalve mollusk, Spondylus various. Like many other bivalve mollusks, the soft, meaty interior of Spondylus is edible, so the Spiny Oyster’s valued for its hard, outer shell as well as its interior meat. Despite its name, the Spiny Oyster’s much more closely related to the scallop than to the true oyster.
