This is natural and genuine paua sparkle veneer that renders vibrant colors by reflecting light in a diverse spectrum from various angles. DESCRIPTION High-quality shell pieces are manually laminated to provide beautiful colors for easy and diverse applications. Natural finish (no backing, no color-coating, unvarnished, no adhesive) APPLICATIONS Iridescent colors and captivating texture can be integrated into your products to enhance your creativity and marvelous artisanship. Applications are limited only by your imagination: overlay and inlay for a wide range of products and items, including musical instruments, handicrafts, gift items, furniture, logo, signage, jewelry, interior decoration. HOW TO CUT & GLUE You can cut these into any shape with sharp scissors, X-Acto knife, Stanley knife, as well as with high-precision devices such as laser cutter, diamond blade, and CNC system. For better results, cover both sides of the veneer or piece with a masking tape and use a very sharp pair of scissors or high-quality precision knife. Cut pieces can be easily glued on to wood, metal, glass, plastic, and other materials using clear bond ("crazy glue"), epoxy resin, polyester resin, and even thin double-sided tape. NOTE Since these are made manually and individually, no two products are exactly the same. We try our best to maintain consistency among the product lines in terms of color and pattern.

Nice product, nice price.
Nice product. We cut the sheet with a laser at very low power, 15% on a 30 watt machine and next time I will only use 10% to reduce edge burning. Cutting must be done with extreme care using any other method. The color is as shown in the photo, mixed light and dark, consistently varied (no dark and light patches). It is somewhat flexible but be aware that it is fragile at less than .010 thick. The sheet is slightly smaller than a sheet of US paper, just FYI.
