For your consideration, we arepleased to offer this exquisite, vintage California Red Abalone Shell. This shell comes from 1960s when CaliforniaRed Abalone was still plentiful and my neighbor, who was a diver, harvested it offthe coast of San Diego in 1963 and sold this to us. Theinterior of this shell still retains its strong, polychromatic, nacreous sheen andits exterior is brushed with a roseate hue. Small chips along its edge add toits “found state” character that w...e enhanced with some minor polishing. We planto list several more shells from this period but they are not polished. Thisshell sits perfectly balanced and does not require any aid for normal use ordisplay. It is 2-1/4” high; 6-1/4” deep;7-3/4” wide, and weighs slightly over a pound.We are not the greatest photographersbut we try our best. Please take a lookat all the photos we post.
