12cm Polished NZ Paua Shell in Descriptive Box

Are you wanting to send a souvenir of New Zealand that is natural and unique to Aotearoa? A paua shell could be just the ticket.

This approximately 12cm long paua shell is polished to enhance the natural beauty of New Zealand's native abalone, the paua (Haliotis Iris).  The shell contains beautiful irridescent shades of blue, green, pink, and purple, and no two shells are the same.

A whole New Zealand paua shell is a mesmerising natural wonder to look at.  Or use it as a receptacle for your trinkets, or your soap, or for crafting.

The paua shell measures approximately 12cm x 8.5cm (4 3/4"" x 3 3 3/8"). It comes to you from Fiordland, New Zealand, where the finest paua shells are found. 

Every paua shell is different.

The top of the box features a lovely image of Fiordland, and the bottom of the box has lots of information about paua - where it is found, how it is gathered, and what the shell is used for.  This is useful when you want to give a paua shell as a gift, but also want to provide information about it.
