What Are Abalone's Spiritual Properties?

Abalone shells possess strong resonant qualities with both water and earth elements, reflecting their dual nature as creatures that exist in both worlds. Despite the rough exterior of an abalone shell, its lustrous mother-of-pearl interior is reminiscent of the ocean. As a result, abalone shells are used in spiritual practices, rituals, and jewelry making.

Is Abalone Illegal?

Due to overharvesting and poaching, abalones have become critically endangered, and it is now illegal to harvest them in order to collect abalone shells. However, all of our abalone shells are sourced ethically and legally. Our abalone shells come from a sustainable food source in Mexico, where they are farmed with low environmental impact and high productivity. 

We take pride in offering these beautiful abalone shells without harming the already endangered abalone population. So, you can rest assured that you are purchasing ethically sourced abalone shells from us.  

Product Origin

Where do Abalone Shells Originate From?

Abalone is a marine species that belongs to the family of sea snails. Found along the Pacific coast, these creatures are known for their distinctive ear-shaped shells (hence the name ear shells) and strong muscular feet that help them cling to rocks near the shore. They are often consumed as food by various animals, but Native American cultures have also used abalone shells as decorative items.

How To Use
In Native American tradition, all parts of nature are revered and utilized in some way. After harvesting the abalone for food, the abalone shells were cleaned and polished for a variety of purposes. Abalone shells were mainly used as currencyand crafted into beautiful jewelry or decorative items. Additionally, abalone shells also served as vessels for smudging with white sage. Today, the tradition continues as abalone shells are still widely used in spiritual practices and adornment.
