Paua Shell

 

Paua Shell is the shell of the Abalone that is sometimes dyed. The stone in the picture is a Blue Paua Shell. It is NOT Opal, but you will find web sites and Ebay sellers referring to it as Opal. You will also find Paua Shell called Sea Opal, which just adds to the confusion. It is a shell formed by a living creature, just like Pearls are formed by a living creature.
