NZ Paua

Paua is the Maori name given to a species of abalone only found in the sea around New Zealand.  Mr T found this one on a beach!  There is no other shell in the world that has the colour patterns of this shell that vary from pink, green, purple and blue and therefore are very precious for making pieces of jewellery.
Mr T developed sciatica after the 20 hour flight from Dubai.  Join the club!
