Abalone Shell

The abalone shell is a valued commodity worldwide because of its' beauty and because of the medicinal properties that are derived from the powder of it's shell. It is also one of the most durable materials on the face of the earth. When a person is suffering from liver stress, or "liver heat" as it is referred to in Chinese Medicine, abalone shell powder is administered to counter act many of the worst symptoms, such as dizziness, headache, spasms, and certain eye conditions. The healing power of the powdered abalone shell is derived from its' highly concentrated nutritional content, including Zinc, Magnesium, Vitamin B12, and Potassium to name just a few.

Whole abalone shell has also been sought after pretty much since the beginning of time for it's physical beauty, and many cultures have discovered that the shell itself also can have beneficial effects for spiritual and emotional balance, most likely also a by-product of the high concentration of trace elements and metals in it's chemical composition, in addition to it's strikingly beautiful appearance. So respected and valued are its' properties to some, that they were, and still are, used in the religious ceremonies of various cultures, including Native Americans from many different areas.
