Paua Shell Details: Paua is a species of abalone found only off the coast of New Zealand. It is the most vividly colored shell you can find - it outshines even the other species of abalone and makes wonderful jewelry. It has a range of blues and greens, often going into electric shades. Purples and pinks are fairly common. Yellows and other colors will also show. Many cultures believe paua is a symbol of good luck and prosperity. The color in the paua shell changes when viewed at different angles. This iridescence, similar to that of Mother of Pearl shell, but far more brilliant, is what makes paua shell so amazing a gem material for use in jewelry. It is truly one of nature's gifts. Each shell is different in it's color tones, and in the patterns within the shell. The black patterns in the shell come from layers of protein that are laid down between the layers of calcium that make up the shell. The brilliant colors are from light being refracted within the crystal layers. Paua Abalone is exclusively found in New Zealand and exhibits this amazing play of color on its shell surface quite similar to opals, thus earning its nickname the "Sea Opal". The most intensely colored Paua come from the cold waters off the southern coast of New Zealand. When found, the shells have a whitish lime coating. This is polished off to reveal the intensely colored "exterior" shell. The interior of the shell also has the same lovely colors.
