How would one replicate this effect? I've tried transforming a stripe by rotating and scaling it, but it just doesn't have the clean edges of this spiral.

Bottom Layer
- Make a pattern brush with a triangle
- Increase the spacing
- Use the Spiral Tool to make a simple spiral
- Stroke it with the top brush
- Place a black circle on top (semitransparent in the image below)
- Cut the spiral, select the circle and make a mask pasting in place the spiral
Top Layer
- Duplicate the first brush and reduce the size and spacing from the brush options window
- Make a second smaller spiral following the first spiral path and stroke it with this second brush (red in the image)
- Mask this second spiral with an irregular shape following the first spiral edge
- Place a centered small white circle on top
Adjust the brushes size and spacing to get te desired result
