Abalone Shell

This Abalone Shell (5"–6") is traditionally used in sacred Native smudging practices as a natural bowl for burning sweetgrass, sage, cedar, and other ceremonial medicines. Its iridescent interior reflects a spectrum of colours, symbolizing water—one of the four sacred elements—while providing a heat‑safe vessel for smoldering herbs. The shell allows multiple medicines to be burned at once, supporting purification, prayer, and spiritual cleansing rituals. Each shell is unique in shape, colour, and pattern, carrying the natural beauty and energy of the ocean. Ideal for smudging, altar work, meditation, or spiritual ceremonies.
