Paua Shell

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

Not sure if you are educating readers in general. If directed at me, I’m aware - and the OP said NZ Paua

In the good old days they were used as ash trays by everyone, well everyone that smoked.
They become over fished when price went up, and exported to guess where.

Such a nice shell being an ashtray is weird. Would probably go well with a deer head on the wall, ivory sticks for eating, and a toilet seat made of turtle shells.
Even if plenty still available on livestock, meh.

What about softening them with vinegar, press them to be flat, use them in a more beautiful way ? (book cover, furniture cover, something stylish instead of vulgar ?)
