This was cut from a single abalone shell, I bought it for my wife while on business in Florida. I was hesitant to post because I wasn't sure if it was a gem but after a bit of research I found that abalone is in fact considered an organic gem material. (5 years and 3600 days ago)
Thanks for the info. I would have guessed it wasn't a gem too. Learn something new every day!![](http://www.pxleyes.com/forum/images/smilies/1.gif)
