Crushed Flashy Silver-Cream Abalone Sand from Mexico, Medium Sand (0.25mm-2mm)

▏ABOUT ⧫ SILVER ABALONE▕ As part of the mollusk family, abalone has a thick inner layer of natural nacre (mother of pearl), which in many species is flashy and iridescent. This unique flash makes abalone an attractive material and has been used for thousands of years in many cultures from all over the world. This particular crushed abalone was harvested from the waters of Mexico and has a silver to cream color flash. ▏MATERIAL ⧫ SIZE▕ Our medium material is considered to be sand sized (very coarse sand to fine sand), ranging between 2 millimeters to 0.25 millimeters. This size is great for most woodworking inlays, memorial and resin jewelry, orgonite pyramids, ring inlay, resin molds, mosaics, terrariums, bezel cups, resin art, embellishments, and metaphysical projects. This material is also a great gift for makers looking for unique supplies or reiki practitioners that enjoy top quality stones.   ▏MINERAL ⧫ PROPERTIES▕ Mohs’s Hardness: 3.5 Specific Gravity (g/cm3): 2.70 - 2.89 Luster
