Splendido esemplare multicolore di Haliotis Iris - Abalone - Conchiglia di madreperla - Conchiglia marina - Paua Shell (Senza Prezzo di Riserva)

Beautiful, in perfect condition extraordinary shell / snail, whose mother-of-pearl layer shimmers differently in the light, from blue to green and violet.
Abalone is a gastropod mollusk that lives in coastal saltwater. A member of the Haliotidae family, it ranges in size from 4 to 10 inches. Like other univalve snails, it has a single shell on top and uses a large foot to cling to rocks and eat algae. The abalone shell is flat and spiral-shaped with several small holes around the edges. Its other names include ear shells and sea ears because of its shell
shape. The interior of the shell is an iridescent mother of pearl (nacre) pattern that is as prized as the meat it protects.
