[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9601212, member: 2844"]Love the organizer, Chin. The fog looks a bit out of place, but I think it is supposed to be there. I don't either. It is all MOP to me, but sometimes it is possible to specify, for instance nautilus, or the more distinct species of abalone, like paua. This inlay looks like it could be one of the lighter (sub)species of abalone, but it could be one of countless other molluscs. In this case I would stay on safe side and use the umbrella term MOP. Which covers all species imo. White abalone can be this very pale shade, as can some other abalone (sub)species.[/QUOTE]
