Abalone Shells are great for using to extinguish your sage smudge sticks in your smudging rituals. They're a type of mollusc similar to clams and oysters and the mother-of-pearl bearing shells are traditionally used in native American rituals, as it's believed that the combination of sage and shell would carry their messages up to heaven.
Abalone shells carry protectional energies and bring with them emotional balance, generating a natural shielding to the user. They also soothe the nerves and open our psychic and intuitive connections.
These shells are approximately 5 inches long, 4.5 inches wide. Size and shape may vary slightly from the image shown.
