How to Use Abalone Shell Energy



The abalone shell has been a source of magic for thousands of years. Its connection to the sea links with the tides and every changing quality of the ocean. The abalone shell is a source of mystery--rocky and plain on the outside, shining and beautiful on the inside. It can help bring out the essence of a hidden emotion, and has been used as a ceremonial bowl for incense. Pieces of the inner shell are polished and used in jewelry, and they carry the same energy with them, that of change and mutability protected by a tough, unchanging shell. Look to abalone shell to represent the changeable but constant
beauty
of life.
