The Abalone Shell has been used for centuries in cleansing and purification rituals. Traditionally used to hold and burn herbs or smudge sticks, this beautiful iridescent shell represents the element of water — bringing a perfect balance when combined with the elements of fire (the burning herbs), earth (the smudge), and air (the rising smoke).
You can rest a smudge stick against the edge of the shell while it’s still alight — but as always, never leave it unattended.
Each shell is completely unique in size, shape, and colour, reflecting the natural beauty of the ocean. Please see sizing options, as availability may vary depending on current stock.
