DONKEY EAR ABALONE (Haliotis asinina),
Philippines: a tiny little thin-shelled animal, often used whole for earrings and pendants, its long narrow shape looks like a donkey’s ear.
Palest pink with no black lines, but plenty of very fine striated texturing to give it interest, and some iridescence.
Not thick enough to get solid blanks from.
Size : 240 x 140 x 0.15 mm
