Ethnic Maori Necklace with Paua Shell Pendant

Paua shell is a wonderfully glowing gift from the sea. It is no wonder that the Maori tribe of New Zealand call Paua shell the Sea Opal because of its magnificent iridescent qualities.
The Maori say that the iridescence is actually loving ancestral spirits radiating a protective aura upon the wearer.
