Type of shells |
: |
Paua Abalone shell is produced by the New Zealand Abalone (Haliotis iris), the most colorful shell.
The name Paua is the name the Maori call the shell we know as Abalone from the deep waters of the South Island of New Zealand.
These waters are a lot colder being so close to the Antarctic Basin. This is why the colors of Paua Abalone are more vibrant and deeper in color than any other Abalone found in the world.
The lustrous iridescence is a rainbow blue, green and various shades of red.
This Paua Abalone shell is an inspiration from nature’s spectrum of rainbow colors.
Golden Mother-of-Pearl shell is produced by the Pinctada maxima mollusk ~ the South Sea pearl oyster
They are currently cultured in areas throughout the Indian and Pacific Oceans, primarily in Indonesia, Australia and the Philippines.
These waters are the native habitat of a large oyster known as Pinctada maxima. This oyster grows up to 12 inches in diameter and much larger than other saltwater oysters
There are two varieties of Pinctada maxima, the silver-lipped and the gold-lipped. The two are distinguished by their distinct coloration of the outer edge of the interior. This type of shell is known as mother-of-pearl, and is responsible for the coloration of the cultured pearls produced, therefore the name.
