Sought after for its range of color and iridescence that rivals even Mother of Pearl,<\/span><\/a> Abalone<\/strong> is a rare organic nacre\u00a0 valued as precious gem by the elite and privileged members of many cultures and societies throughout the ages. Many believe that because most abalone shells can produce a vivid and clear sound of the ocean when held up to the ear, the gemstone holds some power to comfort, soothe, and relax whomever wears it. Unlike the primarily off-white Mother of Pearl, Abalone comes in a range of colors from deep ocean blues to vivid turquoise and is often marbled with flecks of red, gold, green, and\/or purple<\/p>\n
