NZ Coastline

Abalone are a gentle sea snail, with a large central muscular foot and amazingly colourful and lustrous shells.

There are over one hundred different species of abalone throughout the worlds oceans and the native New Zealand species is called Paua. Paua or Haliotis iris are only found in the cool clear waters close to the New Zealand coastline and it is these creatures which possess the greatest range of colour and iridescence of any abalone shell.
