Guest guest Posted June 11, 2001 Report Share Posted June 11, 2001 Please can anyone help me and my friend this is driving me nuts as I KNOW I should know this ;o).. But my friend got a pair of ear rings for her birthday that is silver with a coloured shell/stone inside. They look very much like mother of pearl but are a more bright blue in colour, I remember from my youth living with a NewZealand guy that there is a stone/shell from NZ that looks just like this but I can not for the life of me remember the name of it.. please can anyone help.. (the woman who bought the ear rings was told it was not mother of pearl but can't recall the name of what it was so I am pretty certain that it is indeed this NZ one) Lonnie Phoebe & Eloisa's mama & expecting a Christmas delivery... My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what you start. So far today, I have finished 2 bags of chips and a Chocolate cake. I feel better already.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2001 Report Share Posted June 14, 2001 Re: newzealand shell/stone > > Abalone? That would be my guess too! I was given a piece by someone who'd been to NZ.
