Abalone shell is a decorative material that comes from the shell of abalone, a large sea snail. The shell is highly prized for its iridescent colors and is often used in jewelry, home décor, and musical instruments. The shell is also used in traditional Chinese medicine for its supposed healing properties. Abalone shell is a durable and resilient material that has been used by humans for thousands of years. However, the harvesting of abalone has led to concerns about the impact on wild populations, and some countries have enacted regulations to protect these animals.
