An ample amount of fine silver was used to create this Nautical Nautilus. It features  brillant Blue Paua Abalone gem and a lovely floral pattern on the backside.  This  pendant is 1 3/4 inches long and hangs on an adjustable 16,18, 20 inch chain.  Blue abalone also known as blue paua is a species of abalone found only in New Zealand.   In spiritual idealogy, blue abalone is believed to have peaceful properties and to promote compassion and love. This gem was purchased by me from a reputable jewelry supplier.
