Simple abalone shell guide

Abalone shell comes from shellfish (mollusks). It can be found in many places all over the world. The shells are often used to make jewelry and the colors vary greatly from iridescent, silver white to green-red mother-of-pearl to pinks and reds with blue, green and purple tones. It is usually complimented by silver jewelry. Abalone shell is known to be very strong, although it may seem fragile.

It is a favorite meditating tool among those who practice Yoga. It is believed to affect all of the Chakras (energy centers) in the body with it's mesmerizing colors and to bring harmony to the soul. It is especially good for the heart, cleansing fear, sorrow and negative energies like depression. It also helps stimulate creativity and control anger with it's calming mixture of colors.

Looking at it makes you feel like you were in a swirl of paradise near the relaxing ocean.
