Abalone Shell

Abalone Shell is a beautiful, iridescent material sourced from the inner lining of abalone mollusks. Its swirling patterns of blue, green, purple, and pink make it a popular choice for jewelry, inlays, and decorative items. The shell is often used in necklaces, earrings, and bracelets, adding a touch of oceanic beauty to any design. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, Abalone Shell is believed to have calming properties, promoting emotional balance and peace. It's also used in spiritual practices to cleanse energy and enhance meditation. Abalone Shell's unique appearance makes it highly sought after in the gemstone and jewelry markets. Abalone shell ranks relatively low on the Mohs hardness scale, with a hardness of about 3.5 to 4. This makes it relatively soft and prone to scratching compared to many gemstones.
