Other Names:
Sunray Venus Mini
Spectral Bittersweet
Citrus Button Shell (again…mostly us being cute)
Argopecten spectabilis (a misnomer sometimes applied—bittersweet clams fall under Glycymeris or Clementia)
These tiny treasures pack serious personality. At just 0.5 to 1 inch, Florida Sunburst Spectral Bittersweet Clam Shells shine like they've been kissed by a Key West sunset. Their radiant orange, coral, and amber tones look like they were painted with the juice of a tropical fruit salad.
Don’t let their size fool you—they’re little legends of the shallows. Naturally glossy and streaked with vibrant bands, these clamshells are often found nestled in the sands of Florida’s Gulf Coast, from Sanibel Island to Marco and beyond.
They’re relatively uncommon in good condition due to their delicate size, making them a popular pick for miniature art projects and collectors who love color.
Coastal shadow boxes
Beach-themed resin jewelry

Aquarium or fairy garden décor
Nail art (yes, really)

Size: 0.5"–1"
