    Natural seashell craft New Zealand paua shell abalone shell
    It can be home ornament decoration
    size:about 12*8cm

    Paua is unique to New Zealand. The most colourful species of Abalone.

    Regarded by New Zealanders past and present as a taonga or treasure. Maori legend has it that paua was a special gift from Tangaroa, the God of The Sea. It is unique to New Zealand, that lives on the rocky shoreline all around the coast, but grows best in the waters of southern NZ. This marine mollusk eats seaweed and lives clinging to rocks at depths of 1-10 meters, normally along the shoreline. Paua Shell is the most colorful of all the abalone shells. Most other abalone are pale
