It is great in times of tough emotional issues, soothing the nerves and encouraging a calm demeanor. It is said to gently help open our psychic and intuitive connections. Used as a vessel to capture smudging ashes, or to contain special herbs for medicine. It is used today in many ways, most of all to capture ashes, or to place special crystals. All Abalones are exquisitely made by nature.
