Spiny oyster is a sustainable byproduct collected by diving to collect the shells of bivalve mollusks that live in the warm waters of the Gulf of California on the Baja Peninsula and thrive from North Carolina to Brazil. It’s found in white, pink, yellow, orange, red, purple, and a pleasing brown, with a depth of interesting striation; it adds a breathtaking contrast when paired with other stones. Spiny oyster comes in many shades, ranging from pale peach to very deep red. 

Rocki Gorman is one of the top designers in the Southwestern jewelry venue, designing pieces that are produced by master Native American silversmiths.
