I know you are asking why I am doing this and why don't I sell whole polished shells. The answer is simple... I like shell pieces to work with. :) I can alsosupply you with other links to Paua Shell if you would like. I do this just for a hobbyand love the shell and thought others would like to have a few to enjoy. Let me say this also... Don't blame me for the quality of the other persons shells. lol I have bought Paua shell from others and that is why I tumble my own. It took me months of reasearch to find the right shell and the right person to deal with and I will not let that person stop me from enjoying what I love. lol If they want to sell garbage at a HIGH price to get richer quicker... then they have that right. I will not! I believe that after my items on Ebay expire I will not be listing there anymore, and will only deal with the friends I have made here and the few I have from Ebay. Why? Because I don't need the hassles. LOL What the heck... here are a few links I found, but have not purchases from them: Paua by the pound:
