Abalone in Silver Wired Tree of Life Earings

Abalone

In Native American folklore, abalone represents prosperity, while in Maori tradition, it symbolizes peace, fertility, and the interconnectedness of all living beings. This large shell is also used for smudging, or burning herbs for sacred ceremony, in Native American.

Abalone is an organic gem: it is not a stone. However, gem dealers and jewelers include abalone in the gemstone category because it is of natural origin. Abalone comes from the shells of sea snails. The layer on the inside of the shell is mother of pearl called nacre.

The word “abalone” comes from the Spanish term “abajon,” which means “shore animal.” In many cultures, abalone is considered a symbol of good luck and is often used in jewelry and other crafts. Abalone is also believed to have healing properties, and it is sometimes used in traditional medicine.
