Abalone Shell Abalone shells, used since ancient times by Native Americans as a receptacle for smudging (purification) with sage. Native Americans are said to have cherished the iridescent abalone shell, believing that it housed spirits. Originating from the sea, the abalone shell was valued by Native Americans as a representation of "water," one of the four essential elements: fire, water, earth, and air. Abalone shells, which provide healing from the sea, are believed to soothe stress, anxiety, and anger, leading to a calm mental state. It is also said that keeping one by your side when sleeping can serve as a talisman against insomnia. 【Macrame】 LINHASITA 0.5mm Material: Polyester Using waxed cord (waxed string) 【String】 0.5 x 2 strands twisted together ※ Due to the nature of waxed cord, you may feel some stickiness when you first use it, but it will lessen with use, so please rest assured.
