By The Sea - Paua Abalone, Lepidolite & Amethyst on fancy sterling posts SOLD
Paua Abalone is a shell that comes from the shallow coastal waters surrounding New
Zealand.
Paua is one of the world's most beautiful shells because of it's incredible and intense
variation of color. Typically incorporating blues and deep greens, even the pink material in
the shell turns bluish when viewed from varying angles. The Paua shell is made of lustrous
layers of hexagonal aragonite crystals of calcium carbonate, which is secreted by the Paua
to form the shell.
Paua shells remind us of a kaleidoscope or hologram, with the colors dancing and
sparkling as the iridescent patterns of the nacre catch the glints of light when viewed from
different angles.
