Abalone Shell for Smudging & Ritual - Sustainably Sourced
A beautiful, sustainably sourced natural abalone shell for smoke-cleansing rituals, holding smudge sticks and catching falling ash.
Abalone shells are often associated with the element of water in contemporary spiritual practice, bringing a natural elemental presence to an altar or ritual space. Their gently curved form also makes them a practical vessel for holding a smudge stick while helping to catch ash during use.
Each shell is created by nature, with its own unique combination of iridescent colour, markings, texture and shape.

How to Use
Light your smudge stick or bundled herbs according to their individual instructions, allow the flame to extinguish and use the shell beneath the smouldering bundle to catch falling ash and embers.
The shell can also be used as a natural bowl for holding herbs or other small ritual items when not being used for smoke cleansing.
Safety & Care
Abalone shell is a natural material and should not be assumed to be heatproof. Do not use the shell for burning charcoal or place extremely hot materials directly inside it.
When using it with a smudge stick or other smouldering botanicals, place the shell on a stable, heat-resistant surface and take care to minimise prolonged direct contact between hot embers and the shell.
Burn herbs in a well-ventilated area with good airflow. Never leave burning or smouldering materials unattended, and keep away from children, pets and flammable materials.
Ensure all materials are completely extinguished and cool before handling, cleaning or disposal.
Natural Variation
Abalone shells are natural products rather than manufactured objects. Variations in size, shape, colour, surface texture and iridescence are part of their natural character and make every shell unique.
