ABALONE SHELLS HEALING
Healing Properties of Abalone Shell
Holding a piece of abalone shell may make you feel: love, beauty,
gentleness, caring, comfort, peacefulness, delight, solace, sand, water.
Abalone Shell has the colors of the ocean in it, blues, greens, purples and
yellows. It is soft to the touch from repeated tumbles in the sand and
water. It has slight ripples on it like the patterns left in the sand as the
waves lapse over it. It is comforting to hold it and rub the softness like
you would a worry stone. People are instantly taken with its beautiful
colors. To look at it brings me instantly to the ocean. For those of you who
have never been to the ocean, buy a piece of it, and bring a little piece of
the ocean to you.
Abalone shell is used for patterns of liver
heat with such symptoms as headache, dizziness, spasms of the limbs, and
various conditions of the eyes.
Abalone strengthens the structure of the body

of a living ecosystem. Various types of shell have been used as gems for
centuries. One of these types include those made up of pearly layers: mother
of pearl, abalone and New Zealand paua.
