Polished Pāua Shell
This genuine New Zealand pāua shell has been carefully selected for its vibrant colour and striking natural beauty. The back has been finely ground to remove the natural lime coating, then polished and coated with a clear gloss lacquer to reveal its full iridescence.
Each shell is unique - its patterns shaped by ocean currents - making it a stunning gift, decorative piece, or spiritual keepsake.
New Zealand pāua (Haliotis iris) is considered the most colourful abalone shell in the world. It symbolises purity and prosperity and is often used in Māori art, jewellery, and carvings. Sustainably hand-harvested and polished to perfection, this is a natural treasure from Aotearoa’s ocean.
Finish: Gloss Polished
Size - 120–140mm
