About
Haliotidae
Abalone
Abalone refers to several species of mollusk, known for their vibrant, iridescent shells. These creatures have been a vital food source for over 12,000 years and are highly valued for their striking purple and green nacre. The unique beauty of abalone shell has long been used in jewelry, buttons, and as inlays in musical instruments and furniture, adding a touch of natural elegance and color.
Abalone shell has a hardness of 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale. This makes it relatively soft compared to many gemstones, which is why it's often used in decorative applications rather than as a durable material for heavy wear.
