Tortoiseshell Faux Simulants: Faux Simulants have been on the market for several decades. The original impetus for production of these simulants appears to have related to the fact that natural tortoise shell was relatively expensive. More recently, however, simulants have become virtually the only material available legally in international trade. Today, relatively sophisticated means produce fine faux turtle shell products, some that are so close in resemblance, they require state-of-the-art equipment used to distinguish original tortoise shell from its simulates. Simulated materials include, but are not limited to, cellulose acetate; acrylic, Caribou hooves, ceramic, glass, stained buffalo horn, mixtures of resins, plastics of casein, cellon, rhodoid, and celluloid; Bakelite and galaith plastics and polyester. Honu of Ancient and Modern <></>Hawai`i: The Honu is the Hawaiian symbol of longevity, peace, humility, fertility and the spirit within. The honu is considered a symbol of the island (the word for land is 'Aina honua). They have a saying "land is like a turtle, as it moves on", meaning that it passes slowly but inexorably from owner to heir. The honu are featured in Hawaiian mythology, petroglyphs and as 'aumakua (personal family gods). An 'aumakua could manifest itself in varying forms such as a shark, a sea turtle, a hawk, a lizard, a pueo (owl) or any other animal, plant or mineral. Members of the family were said to recognize their 'aumakua, no matter what form it chose, whether it be an insect on land or a crab in the ocean the following day. The ancestral god might appear in a dream to furnish guidance or spiritual strength in difficult times. When a fisherman or craftsman was especially successful, credit was often given to his 'aumakua for intervening with the principal gods to impart the Mana (Spiritual Power) that enabled an earthly being to develop such skill. Many a canoe paddler has told of being lost or in danger between the islands, only to be guided by his Honu 'aumakua to a safe landing. The turtle is a revered symbol throughout Polynesia, depicting the wisdom that comes with age and the wanderer or traveler. It is said to represent a very wise person with a love for the sea and a passion for travelling and exploring the wonders of the world. It is also like the Albatross in that its skill in navigating the wide ocean is legendary. "Turtle Beach", North Shore, O`ahu (A Place to Visit!): Laniakea, Oahu, Hawaii, is without question the best place in the world to see marine turtles up close. Hawaiian green turtles crawl ashore almost daily to bask amid crowds of tourists and surfers, providing a unique turtle experience and unmatched photo opportunities. Laniakea Beach (aka Lani's Beach or “Turtle Beach”) is not hard to find. From the historic town of Haleiwa travel about 1.5 miles just before Pohaku Loa Way on Kamehameha Highway. When you see lots of cars parked in the dirt on the right-hand side, pull in!!! Across the street is Laniakea Beach. The traffic is very heavy in this area. Please take care when crossing the 2-lane highway.
