Abalone shells, renowned for their iridescent beauty and durability, are marine mollusk shells primarily found in cold coastal waters worldwide, especially along the coasts of North America, Japan, New Zealand, and South Africa. These shells are part of the Haliotidae family, with over 50 species, each with unique characteristics. Known as “ear shells” due to their flattened, ear-like shape, they have significant geological, biological, cultural, and industrial importance.
