Abalone Shell Burner Smudge Pot Dish

Abalone shells are a gift from the sea and symbolically represent the water element in many spiritual and cleansing rituals. When used for smudging, they bring together all the elements: the unlit herbs represent earth, the lit herb embodies fire, and the rising smoke signifies air. This harmony of elements makes abalone shells a powerful tool for balancing energy during rituals.

Abalone shells are widely favored as smudging bowls due to their natural beauty and spiritual connection to the ocean. However, it’s important to handle them with care during use, as heat from the smudging process can transfer to the shell. Additionally, because they are natural shells rather than man-made bowls, they may have small holes or imperfections, which adds to their authenticity but requires cautious handling.

Key Benefits:

• Symbolically incorporates all four elements—earth, fire, air, and water—during smudging rituals.
• A beautiful and natural vessel for burning herbs like sage and palo santo.
• Be mindful of heat transfer and handle the shell with care during and after smudging.
