I have a lot of abalone shells that I'm looking at using for different craft projects that I have.

Welcome from Northern Arizona!
Be careful if you are going to cut those Abalone shells. The dust from shells is harmful to your lungs. Make sure you wear a respirator if you're going to do something like that.

Welcome from Southern Nevada.
Make sure to wear a good mask when grinding abalone shell because they do pick up a lot of toxic metals from the water during formation.
I used to dive for them a lot a long time ago in Northern California. Especially if you go out along the cliffs of Monastery Beach, where they are quite abundant. Quite a swim if shore diving, but worth it.
