<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 283990, member: 55&quot;]I was thinking the same thing; paua is a very blue shell, bluer than other shells called abalone.&nbsp; The commercial aquaculture industry in New Zealand, and popularization of the shell, started in the 1980s, and this looks to be very likely older than the 80s.&nbsp; &nbsp; I imagine there was some use of paua before that, but it was not particularly common.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
