Abalone Shell, 5-6 Inches - Sacred Cleansing Bowl for Ritual Smoke + Intention Work

Bring ocean energy, softness, and natural protection into your rituals with this beautiful 5-6 inch Abalone shell. Traditionally used for smoke cleansing, offerings, and altar work, abalone shells carry the calming frequencies of water and the shimmering iridescence of feminine lunar energy. Each shell is a natural vessel for holding herbs, incense, and intention.

Perfect for burning copal resin, rosemary, cedar, incense cones, loose cleansing herbs, herb wands. Use during rituals for cleansing, grounding, and spiritual renewal. 

Abalone shells are known for soothing emotional energy, enhancing intuition, bringing calm, peace, and emotional protection, and balancing fire with water energy. In many traditions, abalone is used to hold burning herbs so the cleansing smoke is grounded, safe, and sacred.

How to Use:

1. Place sand or salt in the base of the shell. (Adding sand helps protect your shell from heat damage and keeps your ritual tools safe)
2. Set your charcoal disc for loose incense or herbs on top the sand.
3. Allow the smoke to rise and cleanse your energy, tools, or environment.
4. Use a feather or your hand to guide the smoke.

Please note: Each abalone shell is completely natural and sustainably collected and will vary slightly in color, pattern, and shape. The shell you receive may differ slightly from the photos--this is part of its beauty and authenticity.

WARNING: Abalone shells can become permanently blemished, scorched, or cracked if burning items are left directly on the shell for extended periods. For best results, and to protect the shell, always add a layer of sand or salt before burning charcoal discs, resin, or herbs. Never leave burning items unattended.
