kia orana!

This photo was taken in the South Island four years ago in 2006.

On the internet I googled "paua factory" and note you can purchase online from Riverton, Carterton and possibly Auckland factories.

At the link below I noticed they were retailing for $22. I'm unsure if this is the best buy but a good indicator of cost.

You can also purchase paua pieces which might be needed for the costumes in Rarotaonga.

good luck in your search.
