4999
Specimen that is 5.75x4.5 in size. There are two Spondylus shells in this grouping- both featuring a rust colored body with white colored spines (species unknown). They would make a beautiful decor piece in the home or office.
A true work of art by nature, spondylus shells are very unique. Featuring a natural ball-and-socket-like hinge and prominent spikes, each shell is truly one of a kind. Spondylus are commonly known as spiny or thorny oysters- even though they are not truly oysters- and have been used throughout history for jewelry, ceremonies/rituals, and architectural decoration.
