Holistic Healing:
Traditionally associated with calm, gentle emotion and the soothing rhythm of the sea. In crystal lore it is also linked to the heart and the digestion, to the joints, and to the soothing, protective energy of the sea.
 
Metaphysical Traditions:
Used by Native American and Maori peoples for centuries, and regarded in tradition as a stone of the ocean's protection.
 
Cool Facts:
Abalone shell's rainbow shimmer is nacre – layers of calcium carbonate tiles laid down by the sea snail, which diffract light.
Nacre is one of the toughest natural materials known, thousands of times tougher than the plain aragonite it is made of.
In Maori tradition the shell (paua) is used for the eyes of carved figures.
