The shell is an abalone shell, quite small and they come much bigger. There used to be abalone fishing, using divers, around the {California" Channel Islands off Santa Barbara. The boats went out early morning and returned in the evening. Each abalone yielded two abalone steaks and they had to be pounded twice with a 4-lb wooden mallet to soften them. I knew the owner of one of the fisheries and he employed Vietnamese men to do the processing. He calculated that every night each one lifted the equivalent of a couple of tons with his right hand. They could arm-wrestle much bigger men! This was the 1970's-80's and I believe that the abalone are now protected and fishing banned. I still have a dozen or so large abalone shells from back then.

Wow! I truly appreciate you sharing such valued information and your experience. Very interesting, I noticed the shells are used in a lot of jewelry making. Nuff love ❤️

Oh! Interesting, sorry to learn of your experience. We just had a small taste, didn’t eat the entire thing. Hence it was enough to cause any issue. That’s certainly not great to hear. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
