Sea urchin art

The rare, spectacular and unique sea urchins seen in this image represent only a fraction of those displayed at the Sea Urchin Science Centre and Gallery in Sydney, Australia. The centre is the only one of its kind in the World, and it is open to the public. Seen here are tests - the internal skeleton - of the Class Echinoidea, commonly referred to as 'regular urchins'. Which one's your favourite?

Sea Urchin

Mignonne Gavigan Sea Urchin Earrings I treated myself to these darling sea urchin earrings. I love statement earrings and with all of my hair, they are a necessity to be seen. Sea urchin or uni is by far my favorite food. The best dish I ever had in my life was sea urchin poached in Champagne at Lutece in NYC and not far behind was sea urchin carbonara at Vetri in Philadelphia. (In lands far away and long ago pre-pandemic with travel and dining in restaurants). I also adore it raw as sushi…

The little sea urchin on top is quite unusual. It was discovered by a research vessel near New Caledonia at a depth of 1000 ft.
