The iridescent marbled pattern on this 18x13mm oval paua cabochon makes it an excellent choice as a focal point in your designs. The cabochon is made from paua shell layered between a black acrylic base and a clear acrylic dome. Colors on this cabochon could include green, orange and purple. This cabochon would work well for the center of a beaded pendant or as part of a hair accessory. Try it with pastels or with a black background. Paua shell comes from New Zealand. Because the shells are natural, each cabochon will have a different marbled pattern. Be sure to explore other cabochons.
