Description

ABALONE WAVE CARVING

This is a natural Abalone shell parcel harvested in Australian waters.This has been hand carved in to a intruging wave shapes.

Size 25 X 2.5 mm app

Weight 6.60 cts app

The shell of the abalone is exceptionally strong. It is made of microscopic calcium carbonate tiles stacked like bricks. Between the layers of shells is a clingy protein substance. When the abalone shell is struck, the tiles slide instead of shattering and the protein stretches to absorb the energy of the blow. Material scientists around the world are studying the tiled structure for insight into stronger ceramic products such as body armor.
