Fun facts
In Apache legend, the first woman survived a great flood by taking refuge inside an abalone shell. The Māori of New Zealand, who call it pāua, believe the sea god Tangaroa gifted its iridescent colors as a protective shield. For California's coastal tribes, abalone held a cultural significance compared by anthropologists to what the bison was for Plains peoples. It has been found in burial sites dating back at least 12,000 years and was used as currency, ceremonial object, and fishing tool across dozens of distinct Native American nations.
