They are made of natural abalone shells obtained from seafood farms in Mexico. Then the shells are sliced into very thin layers. These thin layers are then carefully arranged into a flat sheet. Most abalone sheet produced from this technology have banding and dis-colorization issues. Only less than 5% are considered premium. Limited availability.
