Abalone:
Usually found off the coasts of S. America, Japan, and China.
Used by athletes to help build and protect muscle tissue.
Also benefits the heart and helps in digestion.
Nicknamed the sea ears, the Abalone's flattened, oval shape with iridescent interior was used by the Native Northwest American Indians as a natural vessel for cleansing, offerings and prayers.
Abalone is purported to be especially useful for handling and calming emotional situations, and be very soothing to the emotions.
Abalone is reported by intuitive sources to stimulates psychic development and intuition, and promotes imagination in a healthy way.
Abalone is associated with the first three chakras.
Caring for the Abalone
Protect the gems from hard blows that could crack or chip the gemstones by not wearing your abalone jewelry while gardening or exercising.
You can easily clean your abalone jewelry with a soft cloth dipped in lukewarm water. Don't clean your abalone jewelry in a ultrasonic cleaner, because Abalone is created from the shell of a mollusk. That is why it has a rainbow of color to it.
