Spiny Jewelbox ID

Spiny Jewelbox

Sanibel is a jewel box filled seashells and beach treasures which are the best jewels I can think of. On most beach combing days, you will find a little treasure…. the SPINY JEWELBOX. The JEWELBOX above was an exceptional find for us since there are so many long spines that didn’t get broken off.  Well I say “us”… Super Sheller Clark found this one.

I found this one which only has a couple of spines still attached (any spines still intact and I’m tickled). Just look at that color!

Even when the spines have been broken off, it’s still a nice find (in my opinion) when the two halves are attached.
