Color : Stunning shades of multicolor rainbow Paua Abalone shell and black Quality : Excellent deep and finely carved natural shell Treatment : None ~ 100 % natural shell and natural color without any enhancements Paua Abalone shell : Paua 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. Black Pinna shell : Pinna shell species are large saltwater clams sometimes known as pen shells. They are marine bivalve mollusks. Pen pearl is a term used for pearls from the shell species Pinna. This species is found in the waters of the Indian and Pacific Ocean and also in the Mediterranean. These shells produce both nacreous and non-nacreous pearls. The pearls often exhibit a dark grey to black body color with overtones of bright green, blue, purple, silver, and pink. We buy natural pearls directly from the divers throughout the Indo Pacific region. Found in the pristine tropical waters off the coast of the New Guinea. The Island of New Guinea is situated south of the equator and is the world's second largest island after Greenland. Papua New Guinea is one of the most diverse countries on Earth. Definition Black Mother-of-Pearl : Pinctada margaritifera ~ Black-lip Pearl Oyster Pinctada margaritifera, commonly known as the black-lip pearl oyster, is a species of pearl oyster, a saltwater clam, a marine bivalve mollusk in the family Pteriidae. This species is common in the Indo-Pacific within tropical coral reefs. The ability of P. margaritifera to produce pearls means that the species is a valuable resource to humans. The oysters are harvested wild from coral reefs and are also commonly grown in aquaculture, both primarily taking place in the Indo-Pacific region. The common name of this species refers to the black coloring along the margins of the interior of the shell. Externally the shell is dark grayish brown or green, though white spots are common across the shell. Adults usually reach between 20 and 25 cm (7.9 and 9.8 inches) in height.
