Large-ish Pale Green-ish Abalone
£14.25
There are over 100 subspecies of the Haliotis genus scattered around the world. They range in size between 7mm and 30mm. Abalone pearls are very rare though some mabé are cultured in New Zealand. Wild Abalone pearls are prized, very very rare and very expensive as well as fragile and unstable. By contrast the shells are very strong. Shells are as dull as all others on the outside but the insides are often extremely colourful, with oil-on-water swirls of colour
