Shiva Shell Earrings

Discovered on the seabed in the shallow tropical waters of Thailand and Indonesia, the gem is actually the protective door found at the opening of the Turban Snail’s shell, which towards the end of the snail’s natural life, detaches and sinks to the seabed. Across the gem-rich countries of India, Tibet and Sri Lanka, many Hindus worship the god Shiva.  Many pictures of Shiva show a third eye in the middle of the god’s forehead and it is from this that the gem’s name is derived. Shiva Shell symbolizes the creation, destruction and preservation of all the flows of life, spiritual knowledge and the constant change towards the creative visualization.
