I think most of us would be interested in round paua beads. If you see any
let us know.

were,
but I am going to give everyone a SPECIAL link to WHOLE POLISHED NZ
Abalone Shells! DON'T buy whole shells from Ebay!
Here is the link:

What the heck... here are a few links I found, but have not purchases
from them:
Paua by the pound:
http://natures-emporium.com/abshelpashel.html
The costume Paua stuff by the dozen. most are sold out.. why? It's on
Ebay! lol

Here is where I buy ALL my New Zealand Paua Abalone Shell from. His name
is Malcolm
and is one of the nicest persons you would want to know... as long as you
don't put down
his Paua shell or his customs and beliefs. Hello Malcolm! Paua to the
People!
http://www.the-carver.com/pshapes.htm
Be sure to go to his main page and see all his carvings! This man is a
Master Carver and a really great person!
http://www.the-carver.com
If you are interested in buying from him... please email him before you
purchase. Very important!
He only deals in RAW Paua shell and does not sell tumbled shell, but he
can get whole polished Paua
shells very cheap for you!
Thank you for listening to my ranting. I am not in this for the money...
I love the shell!

I forgot something. Someone asked me while back about Paua beads?
Here is the link to some that look very nice:
http://www.chichesterinc.com/PauaShellBeads.htm
Here is the main page for those:
http://www.chichesterinc.com/Index.htm
When you load the page and if you click on EDIT in your toolbar, then
click on Find on this page, and
type in Paua, you will find a lot more items.
Here is a website that has small ROUND Paua beads, but I have not bought
from here either:
http://www.gwensjewelry.com/index.htm
The other thing I forgot to mention is: The minium for buying at Shell
Horizons is $50.00, but the
whole polished Paua Shells are just $5.00, so if you bought 10 of them you
would be at the minium.
Happy Paua shopping and everyone have a great weekend!
