Abalone, often called "ear shells" due to their ear-like shape, are marine mollusks renowned for their colorful and iridescent shells, reflecting a spectrum of blues, greens, and purples. These shells are composed of calcium carbonate and proteins, exhibiting a unique play of colors when hit by light. In ancient times, indigenous peoples worldwide revered abalone shells for their spiritual significance, using them in rituals, ceremonies, and as decorative ornaments. A fascinating fact about abalone is that their shells are made of microscopic tiles stacked like bricks, contributing to their iridescence. Today, abalone remains highly prized in jewelry and decorative arts, valued for its natural beauty and connection to oceanic ecosystems.
