Description from the seller
Shell of Haliotis rufescens, native to California waters, its extra-large size, measuring a full 222 millimetres, a substantial size for its species.
Its beauty is enhanced by meticulous workmanship, which has revealed the mother-of-pearl hidden beneath half of its surface. Thanks to this polishing process, the shell presents a luxurious iridescent sheen, exposing bands of coloration that dance between red, white, and pink. These shades alternate in an intricate play of colors, creating a fascinating and hypnotic visual effect.
The bottom part of the shell has been left in its natural state, revealing its genuineness and authenticity. This shell is not only a highly prestigious collectible, but also a highly captivating decorative element.
