Sea jewels

My husband and I would go diving where ever we lived which was so much fun.... The ocean has so much to offer and such a different world from what we see on land. I always loved urchins, they are just gorgeous. I started collecting them. Cleaned their spiny bodies by soaking it in a mix of bleach and water which made the spiny needles fall off. Please note * they were always dead when picking them. So here are
my sea jewels sitting on my table in a glass jar , every time I look at them it brings back wonderful memories. What is most amazing is that none of them have been damaged during our many moves from continent to another.
