Crushed Flashy Silver-Cream Abalone from Mexico, Fine Crush, Powder Size, <0.25mm

▏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 the powder does have tiny specks of silver to cream color sheen. 

▏MATERIAL ⧫ SIZE▕

Our powdered material consists of mostly silt and clay sized particles (<0.25mm). Our powders do have a slight grit to them. Powdered minerals are great for filling in small cracks or voids, orgonite pyramids, resin molds, memorial and resin jewelry, ring inlay, resin art, and creating textured paints and pigments. This material is also a great gift for makers looking for unique supplies or reiki practitioners that enjoy top quality crystal powders.
