{"product_id":"case-of-5-6-mexico-green-abalone-shell","title":"Green Abalone Shell - 5.0-6.0 inch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Green Abalone Shell is a whole natural shell from Mexico, its interior a swirl of iridescent nacre where greens and blues shift into pinks and golds as the light moves. The naturally bowl-shaped form has served for generations as the traditional vessel of smudging practice, cradling a smouldering sage bundle or Palo Santo stick and catching the ash, and each shell arrives with its own one-of-a-kind colour play and surface character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAbalone carries gentle associations with calm and emotional balance, and in many smudging traditions the shell brings the element of Water to the ceremony, joining the burning herb, the smoke, and the flame to complete the circle. Off duty, the shell earns its place as a display piece, a catch-all for jewelry, or a home for small tumbled stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPrimary Focus: Calm \u0026amp; Stress Relief\u003cbr\u003e\nSecondary Focus: Balance \u0026amp; Harmony\u003cbr\u003e\nChakra Association: Heart, Throat\u003cbr\u003e\nZodiac Sign: Cancer, Scorpio\u003cbr\u003e\nChinese Zodiac: Rabbit, Pig\u003cbr\u003e\nRuling Planet: Moon\u003cbr\u003e\nElements: Water\u003cbr\u003e\nMohs Hardness: 3.5\u003cbr\u003e\nStone Family: Organic\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: Natural Abalone Shell\u003cbr\u003e\nOrigin: Mexico\u003cbr\u003e\nForm: Smudge \/ Cleansing\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate Size: 127-152 mm (5-6 inches)\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate Weight: 60-80 g\u003cbr\u003e\nListing: Single unit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAbalone is one of the few organic materials in the crystal market, alongside pearl, jet, and amber. The shell is built of calcium carbonate in its aragonite form, and the iridescent interior is nacre, the same material as pearl, laid down by the mollusc in thin overlapping plates over years; the spectral colour shift is entirely natural structural colour, not a coating or treatment. Abalone has been used across Pacific, Native American, and African coastal cultures for thousands of years in adornment, ceremony, and trade, with particularly deep significance as paua in Maori tradition. Abalone is harvested from coastal regions globally, with New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, the USA, and Japan among the primary commercial sources; this shell originates from Mexico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity.

The shell surface is relatively soft (Mohs 3.5); avoid abrasives and harsh chemicals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Canvape (Test)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47012625350886,"sku":"AS006C125-AS-BR6","price":26.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/7200\/5350\/files\/Untitleddesign-2026-07-20T215046.239.jpg?v=1784565529","url":"https:\/\/auturasol.com\/products\/case-of-5-6-mexico-green-abalone-shell","provider":"AuturaSol","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
