These tumbled African abalone shell pieces come in 1 kilogram bags of mixed assorted sizes. They are great for use in aquariums, terrariums, gardens, floral decorations, and jewelry.
Colors may vary between dye lots. Please note that over time the dyes will fade if the shell is left in the sun.
If you want to drill the abalone shell pieces, we recommend drilling them in water with a drill press. We do not offer this service.
Please call for pricing on large orders (1,000 kilos or more) directly from South Africa.
This particular species of abalone was recently placed under CITES III trade controls by South Africa in May 2007. In June 2010, the South African government removed the CITES status on this shell. No CITES permits are required any longer.
These shells are a by-product of the food industry.
