Contemplate the starry visual patterns in this sea urchin “test,” or shell, to prepare to Dream to the Web of Stars in the rafters of the Owls’ Library. Shells like these (as well as spiderwebs, snowflakes, and some flowers) all share a radial symmetry. The Library contains an entire section of books exploring hallowed proportions and patterns; but the best example of their beauty is the awe-inspiring web system on the Library’s ceiling.
You will receive one shell or "test" from an alfonso sea urchin (Toxopneustes Pileolus), also called a flower urchin. The live urchin is highly dangerous, delivering a potentially-deadly venom when touched. However, the empty, dried test is safe to handle. Your test measures about 2-3 inches. It is highly friable and fragile. Each is one of a kind. Display it your curiosity cabinet, crafts with it, or use it as a planter for air plants.
The Ocean Constellations was featured in the Three Spiders Box (December 2025).
