These innovative and beautiful decorator tiles will really enhance a wide variety of internal applications, both domestic and commercial. Each tile is different in its colour tonings and in the patterns within the shell. The brilliant colours are from light being refracted within the crystal layer, a feature which has led to the New Zealand Abalone - Paua shell's immense popularity for use in jewellery. Special technology has enabled us to produce this product with a ceramic tile base, coupled with an ultra violet resistant coating which enhances the natural shell.
