Spiny oyster, the bright orange-red shell of the spiny oyster, was already used as a gemstone in the Neolithic period. The Incas and other advanced cultures in South America also used spiny oysters for jewelry and ritual purposes; this is why the spiny oyster is also known as the rainmaker's shell and was long regarded as a symbol of fertility and vitality. This is also the origin of the Spanish name oro rojo (red Gold). Spiny oyster is eaten as a delicacy in many regions; its use in jewelry is therefore unproblematic.
