| NZNP Thanks for the beautiful pics! Presumably they're paua mabes? I fell in love with paua many years ago before I knew about the mabes. We used to buy paua shell jewelry set in sterling silver, (in the U.K.). By the way where is Oakura, I can't find it on the map. I guess its not far from Mt.Egmont but in which direction? Also I thought the N.Z. pearl farms were in the South Island around either Oamaru or the Foveaux Strait. Can you enlighten? Thanks. |
