Shiva Shell, also known as Shiva Eye or sometimes Pacific Cat’s Eye, is a stunning natural gem whose pattern is completely made by Mother Nature.  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. Although each spiral is similar in pattern, as with all organic gemstones, each one will vary slightly.
