Abalone Shell

Bring the healing and calming energy of the sea to your space with the lovely abalone shell. The abalone shell, because of its shape, is nicknamed the "Ears of the Sea" but spiritually this reminds us to listen to our intuition.

Abalone Shell (as well as most sea shells) is a “Bio-Crystal” meaning it is created by a biological organism rather than formed in the earth from inert minerals. Shells are made of nacre (aka Mother of Pearl) which is Aragonite or Calcite crystals layered with proteins secreted by the sea animal. As the Abalone grows it deposits multiple layers over time creating bright rainbow iridescent colors when light refracts the stacked microscopic layers.

The abalone has been used for thousands of years, not only as nourishment but as adornment, tools, currency, and in sacred rituals. This shell not only promotes inspiration in healing relationships, communication, and compassion but it can also be used for the following:

• Mediation, use alone or paired with other crystals
• Incense burner 
• Smudge stick holder 
• Palo stick holder 
• Crystal holder
• Altarpiece
• Sage smudges ashtray 
• Home, office, and sacred space decor
