A Spark from the Tide
$3.00
This is the color of a dramatic ocean sunset, of vibrant coral reefs, and the hidden heart of the sea. It’s a bold, warm, and passionate hue that glows with an inner fire. These shells don’t just reflect light; they seem to generate their own warmth, a piece of the ocean’s most fiery moments captured for you.
From the Shore
Finding a red abalone feels like discovering a hidden treasure. These shells come from abalones that thrive in waters rich with red and brown algae. Their diet paints their homes with these stunning crimson and rust tones. When I hold one, I feel the vibrant energy of a bustling reef or the last warm rays of sun on the water. I choose them for their bold spirit and the way they command attention, just like a perfect sunset.
