Abalone section approximately 2" long, suspended from black double string, length 16".

Fascinating Fact - Amazing Abalone!
The abalone is treasured not just for its beautifully coloured shell lining, nor just for its delicious meat. Its amazingly strong shell is made from multiple tiles which can slide over each other under impact, a structure which is only now being developed by humans for armour plating.
