Description

Abalone, also known as the Paua shell, has been known for many years for its fantastic interior (mother-of-pearl), which has been processed into jewelry for hundreds of years. The abalone is actually an edible shell, the most beautiful of which are found in the Tasmanian Sea off New Zealand. There, the shells are harvested under controlled conditions and serve as a source of food for the local population. However, these fantastic shells are not a byproduct but are increasingly becoming a main product because they are highly prized. Mother-of-pearl has been regarded for centuries as something that has a very purifying and positive effect. The power of the shell therefore lies in the mother-of-pearl, and its effect is like that of a gemstone: gemstones give energy and possess a noble power, and this mother-of-pearl provides that as well.  
• Meditation: Abalone shells are also used during meditation, as this is beneficial for intuition, spiritual development, and psychological development. 
• Burning herbs in Abalone: ​​In a ritual, the abalone shell is usually used to unite the five elements. The shell features small holes that ensure the necessary airflow. 
• The power of Abalone: ​​Wards off the evil eye, protects against negative energy, makes people balanced, brings deep inner peace, and provides inspiration.
