Inka Abalone Pool Series is a premium shell mosaic crafted from genuine abalone and mother-of-pearl, celebrated for its mesmerizing iridescent color play ranging from oceanic blues and greens to violet and silver. Each 6×6 sheet is thoughtfully assembled from natural shell chips that capture and reflect light in ways that shift dramatically depending on the viewing angle and lighting conditions.

Mounted on a sturdy mesh backing, each sheet is engineered for pool-grade performance and is rated for submerged, wet, and splash-zone applications. The mosaic format speeds up installation significantly — sheets align quickly and grout joints remain consistent, making it a practical choice even for complex curved pool surfaces. The inherent iridescence of the shell is amplified underwater, producing a living, shimmering effect throughout the day.

Inka Abalone Pool Series is best suited for swimming pool interiors, waterline accents, fountain features, luxury spa walls, and decorative shower niches. As a clearance or specialty shell product, ordering a sample is strongly recommended to appreciate the full iridescent color range before committing to a full installation. Seal all grout joints with a pool-safe, penetrating grout sealer for long-term performance and ease of maintenance.

Free Shipping: As a mosaic, this product qualifies for free curbside shipping on orders over $1,999 within the continental U.S. Orders below that threshold ship at standard rates calculated at checkout.

Processing & Delivery: Orders are processed within 2–3 business days. Large orders ship via LTL freight — curbside delivery only. An adult must be present to sign for delivery. Estimated transit: 2–10 business days after shipment.

30-Day Returns: Uninstalled tile may be returned within 30 days of delivery. Inspect all tile carefully before installation — installed tile cannot be returned or exchanged. Samples are final sale.

Exclusions: Free shipping does not apply to Hawaii, Alaska, U.S. territories, or international addresses. Additional charges may apply for remote delivery areas.

Sealing: Grout joints should be sealed with a penetrating, pool-safe grout sealer prior to filling the pool or exposing the installation to prolonged water contact. Reapply sealer annually in heavily used pool environments. The shell surface itself does not require sealing but should be inspected periodically for any chips or loose pieces.

Cleaning: Clean with a pH-neutral, non-abrasive cleaner only. Avoid acidic cleaners, vinegar, citrus-based products, and harsh scrubbing pads, which can etch and dull the natural shell surface. For pool installations, maintain balanced pool water chemistry (pH 7.2–7.6) to protect both the shell and grout over time.

Installation: Use a white polymer-modified thinset adhesive rated for submerged or wet applications; avoid gray thinset, which may bleed through the shell and alter color. Align mesh sheets carefully, maintaining consistent joint spacing. Use non-sanded grout for joints under 1/8 inch. For pool interiors and curved surfaces, back-butter each sheet and press firmly to ensure full contact and eliminate voids. Allow full cure time before flooding the pool.

Important: Inspect all tile before installation. Variations in color, veining, and texture between pieces are natural characteristics of genuine stone — not defects. Order 10% overage for cuts, waste, and future repairs. Tile & Mosaic Depot specialists are available M–F 8:30AM–5PM PST at 855-797-8453.

Product & Installation Guidance

Natural stone is a product of the earth — every piece is one of a kind. A little planning ensures your finished installation looks its best and lasts for decades.

Natural Variation
Color, veining, texture, shade, movement, finish, and sizing vary from piece to piece. Product photos and samples are a general reference and may not match the exact material you receive. These variations are inherent characteristics of natural stone — they are part of its beauty, not defects.

Before You Install

  • Order roughly 10% extra to allow for cuts, waste, and future repairs.
  • Blend tiles from multiple boxes as you work to achieve the most natural, balanced appearance.
  • Dry-lay and inspect the full layout before setting a single tile.
  • Installation constitutes full acceptance of the product, so review everything carefully first.

Sealing & Care
Natural stone should be sealed with a quality penetrating sealer before and after installation, and re-sealed periodically in wet or high-traffic areas. Clean only with a pH-neutral stone cleaner; avoid acidic products, bleach, vinegar, and ammonia, which can permanently etch the surface. Outdoor installations may weather or change tone over time with exposure.

Responsibility
Tile & Mosaic Depot is not responsible for improper installation, labor costs, substrate conditions, product misuse, or damage from improper handling, sealing, maintenance, or harsh chemicals. No claims, returns, or replacements can be accepted on installed material.

California Proposition 65: Some natural stone products contain substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. For more information, visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

Order a Sample First

Seeing real stone in your own space — under your own light, beside your own finishes — is the best way to buy with confidence. We make it easy and affordable.

How It Works
Samples are just $7.99 each with free shipping, and they ship in 1–3 business days. Sizes vary by material and availability, typically ranging from 3"×3" up to 8"×8". Exact dimensions aren't guaranteed, but every sample is cut from the same material you'll receive in a full order.

What a Sample Shows
Samples help you evaluate the general color, texture, finish, and overall character of a product before committing to a full order. Because natural stone varies from piece to piece, your sample is representative — it may not capture the complete range of variation across an entire lot. For current lot photos, just ask our team.

Good to Know

  • Samples are final sale — non-returnable and non-refundable.
  • Ordering a sample before a full purchase is always recommended, especially for natural stone.
  • Planning a larger or custom quantity? Contact us for a tailored quote.
