Abalone Shell (as well as most sea shells) is a “Bio-Crystal” meaning it is created by a biological organism rather than formed in the earth from inert minerals, like carbon or silicon. Shells are made of nacre (aka Mother of Pearl) which is Aragonite or Calcite crystals layered with proteins secreted by the sea animal (in this case, a snail). As the Abalone grows it deposits multiple layers over time creating bright rainbow iridescent colors when light refracts the stacked microscopic layers.
Abalone shell is fundamentally an expression of healing ocean energy. Using Abalone generates a feeling of peace and calm. It is though to alleviate worries and cares, and transform negative energy into a positive uplifting mood. Wear Abalone for inspiration in healing relationships as it promotes communication and compassion. Abalone is ideal for wearing as inspirational jewelry.
Labradorite is considered the most powerful protector of the mineral kingdom, protecting against negativity and misfortunes. Thought of as a stone of transformation and protection, Labradorite is a useful companion through change, imparting strength and perseverance. Excellent for strengthening intuition and promoting psychic abilities, Labradorite is said to stimulate the imagination, developing enthusiasm and new ideas.
