We use only 2 types of Stingray fish, the Single Crown (Pearl) Stingray fish (Dasyatis Bleekeri) and Spotted Eagle Rays/Row stone (Pearl) Stingray fish (Dasyatis Bleekeri/Aetobatus Narinari). These marine Stingrays are mainly found in South Asia and South East Asia especially in Thai Gulf and Andaman Sea. Both species are neither endangered nor threatened. According to CITES (The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna), there are documents to show that Stingray is not included in these appendices and therefore legal for commercial and trading through the world.

Some people eat the flesh of the Stingrays and others use the tail spine as a spear tip, dagger, needles and awls. They also extracted oil from the ray's liver for commercial value. The Stingray skin has been used for drumheads, furniture, shoes, boots and leather accessories. The skin has a beautiful pearl-sturdded apperance at the back of the rays, which is as hard as a rock. The microscopic fibers of the Stingray skin are woven together, unlike ordinary cowhides, which have parallel fibers. Therefore, the Stingray skin had to be tanned using 8 types of chemical with as many as 22 processes, to yield into a strong, soft skin of exquisite texture and beauty. On a laboratory test, we found that the tensile strength of rays skin is 25 times stronger than hides, and they are scratch, pierre and fire proof.
