Orange Spiny Oyster Shell is considered rare because it is only found in a limited geographic area and is only available in certain seasons. The Spiny Oyster itself is found in warm waters off the coasts of Mexico, the United States, and South America, but only a small portion of these oysters produce the vibrant orange color that is highly sought after in the jewelry-making industry.
-
Additionally, the Spiny Oyster is a slow-growing organism, taking up to 10 years to reach maturity, which makes the availability of the Spiny Oyster Shell even more limited. This rarity contributes to its high value and desirability in the jewelry-making industry.
-
Finally, the Spiny Oyster is also harvested by Indigenous peoples for traditional jewelry-making purposes, which adds another layer of cultural significance and value to the Orange Spiny Oyster Shell. Overall, the combination of limited availability, slow growth, and cultural significance make the orange Spiny Oyster Shell a rare and highly prized material in the world of jewelry-making.
