Abalone Shell Necklace: A Unique Gift

Want something unique and special for a gift? Have you already heard about Abalone jewelries? Just so you know Abalone is an edible marine mollusk that is used for a variety of reasons as from consumption to decorative purposes. The term abalone is a North American term for mollusks, it is also known as Paua in New Zealand, Ormer in Britain’s Channel Islands and Awabi in Japan. This mollusk comes in different colors such as red, black, green and white.

Abalone is commonly found in cold ocean waters of Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Japan and some parts of Western United States. New Zealand and Australia are now responsible for about 25 percent of the world harvesting of Abalone but due its rapid depletion of the most desired white abalone, government imposed strict regulations on harvesting this mollusk on their natural habitat especially on the above mentioned countries.

Nowadays, domestic farming and harvesting are being implemented to protect these species. It began in Japan and China in the late 1950’s which are now being practiced worldwide.

Why is it unique?

The abalone shell is strong due its unique formation and structure. This makes the abalone shell a durable and definitely an eternal jewelry such as necklace, pendants and even buttons. What makes it unique though is that it is also known as “mother of pearl” and each shell produces its own unique pattern. Moreover, the most desired of abalone species is the white abalone because of its unique pattern of varied shades of ivory and pearl.

In addition, abalone shell has long believed to affect all of the chakras (energy centers) of the human body, helping to bring balance and alignment. This is also good for heart chakras which gently cleanse the heart for negative emotions. It is also believed to be mentally stimulating and has a natural calming effect. This is absolutely helpful when you are looking for creative ideas.

Abalone stocks are slowly depleting and collecting them from their natural habitat is strongly discouraged. Always remember when trying to buy one, make sure that it comes from abalone farms.

What causes white patching on a hatchling tortoise shell ?

Species is Testudo Graeco Graeco from Morocco. They are not “spots” as such, more like a generalized whitening of the shell, as if it’s slowly turning white. The problem is not very severe but Im really concerned it’s something serious and needs nipping in the bud…

If this whitening is present all around the scutes it is simply new growth. New growth tends to be lighter in colour before then darkening. If it isn’t around the scutes but is in patches on the shell it could be possible shell rot.
