Why get an Abalone Shell? The Abalone Shells are mostly used in smudging rituals for burning palo santo, sage, sweet grass, incenses & cones. They come straight from the Earth’s ocean & they bring a strong & calming energy, allowing you to remain connected to the sea. Using Abalone Shells in your smudging rituals allow you to connect with the four elements of the Earth; water (the shell), air (smoke) & the Earth (herbs). Smudging is a great practice to use in your home or at your work space when you feel it needs clearing of negative energy.
