The Abalone or Ormeau shell is used for cleansing rituals by smudging with Palo Santo or Sage. This beautiful shell serves as a container. Although it tolerates heat very well, I recommend placing a little sand at the bottom to protect it as much as possible. It was already used by Native Americans during purification rituals. It symbolizes the reunion of the 4 elements: the shell symbolizing water, Palo Santo symbolizing fire, its ashes symbolizing earth, and of course, the air that allows combustion. These marvelous beauties have small holes that allow for good air circulation, promoting harmonious smudging.
