ADDITIONAL INFO Abalone ("sea snails") are a type of marine gastropod mollusk that typically occur in the temperate and tropical seas of New Zealand, South Africa, Australia, North America, and Japan. They vary in size—from an inch to a foot—and have flat-ish, ear-shaped shells decorated with spiral designs. The brilliant colors in the shells have been used in art, decoration and jewelry for a long time. No two pieces of abalone are alike. While they may look unexciting on the outside, abalone shells contain a thick inner layer of iridescent mother-of-pearl that has long driven humans to collect them and turn them into home decor and jewelry. Besides being mesmerizingly colorful, their shells are also believed to be 3,000 times stronger than a single crystal of calcium carbonate, the mineral of which they're made.
