Natural Abalone Shell- Approx 6.25″

People often use these naturally beautiful abalone shells to burn sage, incense or resins. The shells of abalones have a low open spiral structure, and are characterized by several open respiratory pores in a row near the shell’s outer edge. The thick inner layer of the shell is composed of nacre (mother-of-pearl), which in many species is highly iridescent, giving rise to a range of strong changeable colors, which make the shells attractive to humans as decorative objects, jewelry, and as a source of colorful mother-of-pearl. As each shell is natural, the one you receive may have different coloration and patterning. Approximately: 6.25 inches long 5 inches wide 2 inch tall
