Abalone Collection
Abalone beads are natural shell from the Abalone (type of sea snail) exposing a rainbow of natural color from the iridescent mother-of-peal inner layer of the shell. Despite a MOHS hardness of 2.5 to 4, Abalone is durable and an excellent choice for jewelry with its swirling patterns of silver, blue, green, and purple or pink flashes of color! Just as these beautiful shell beads provided protection for the Abalone itself, they are linked with healing, peace, protection, and instilling a sense of calm or tranquility for those who use or wear them. Associated chakras are the heart, third-eye, and crown. Be sure to have some Abalone (paua) shell for protection and healing.
Abalone shells are used for decoration, jewelry, and sacred Native American smudging rituals to clear negative energies, provide healing, and to carry messages up to heaven. One example is the Apache Sunrise Ceremony, a puberty rite for women where girls wear an Abalone shell disc on their foreheads for protection, and connection to the cycle of life and ocean.
