Cool pic's, very informative post. I have been to NZ a few years ago and brought back a few off these Paua shells, 1 is polished and has more of a green colour with bits of blue. The other 1 is half polished and has more blue, they are a gorgeous looking shell. Cheers
Nice one @silverbug. Yes they are a beautiful shell and come up great when polished up. I did have a half and half Paua like you mention, however I left it in the sun and it crumbled after a number of years!! Best to keep them protected from the sun. I would love to have a bathroom feature wall clad in Paua shell pieces in the future, it would look freaking amazing.
I not sure but I think it was Christchurch we went in the museum and they had this house there full of Puau shells in every room, it was amazing. That's a good idea with the feature wall, that would look crazy.
Thanks @agaupt I'll make sure I document the construction of my Paua clad bathroom on Steemit, when my bitcoin investment matures ofcourse!
