Collection: abalone shell

An abalone shell is the iridescent, pearlescent outer covering of a marine mollusk, prized for its stunning rainbow colors (blues, greens, pinks) and used in jewelry, art, and as a holder for spiritual rituals like sage smudging. Made of layered calcium carbonate and protein, these shells are both strong and beautiful, with the inner layer (nacre or mother-of-pearl) being particularly valued.
