What is an Abalone Shell?
Abalone Shells are the symbol of strength, beauty, resilience, and independence. They are sea snail shells that are famous for their exterior surface. The shell is made through small holes which get filled above the animal’s skin during its growth.
The shell is mostly calcium carbonate and it’s so strong that it is three thousand times anti-fracture proof than any pure crystal. The outside of the shell appears to be incredibly tough, but when you open it, the inside is so gorgeous that nothing else in the world is like it. Their shiny beauty is employed in the manufacturing of various Jewellery, and the enormous muscular foot inside the shell is eaten as a delicacy in some countries such as China, Greece, and Italy.

Abalone has been consumed as an appetite by humans for quite a long time and their pearl-bearing shells have not only been used in ornament manufacturing but also carry energy for healing, protection, and emotional strength. Today these shells are still sought in abundance in South Africa. Also, five major sources of abalone are North America, the West Coast and South of Africa, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand.
Uses of Abalone Shell
Abalone carries so many metaphysical, spiritual & healing benefits that come from the ocean, and are going to talk about it in this
Smudging
Smudging is an ancient method of purifying and detoxifying the soul of those who are plagued by negative ideas & thoughts It’s also utilized to cleanse harmful energies from areas like a new or old home, offices, or a spiritually depressed mood. It is a spiritual custom that has been practiced for ages and has been incorporated into various cultures.
Abalone shells are utilized not only as a bowl, but also because they are a product of nature, and they offer the impression of being connected to the ocean.

This shell is believed to enhance the sense of peace & love, as well as warm and soft sensations. It is a wonderful feeling that calms the nerves and is a wonderful element to improve and support dialogue, cooperation, and compromise, all of which lead to a balanced life and guidance in a relationship.

This beautiful creation is a great source of Vitamin E, Vitamin B12, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus. That means it can help people who have vision problems, nerves & muscle damage, weakness & tiredness, stiff joints, pale skin issues, deficiency of red blood cells.
The presence of iron controls thyroid function and strengthens the immune system. The vitamins contained within aid in the prevention of cancer and the reduction of heart disease. Although it is no secret that this type of seafood is one of the most expensive.
How do we eat?
When we first open them up, we can see a fluid-like substance inside. Like a clam, it can be eaten raw or cooked, but it is always preferred to cook or grill it. Place the shell side of the shell on the grill or stone. It has a buttery flavor and is a touch chewy.
Farming
Fishing abalone has been fully forbidden worldwide due to its recent popularity and near-extinction threat. Then people began producing abalone to save it from extinction and profit from it. Farming abalone, on the other hand, did not result in the natural beauty of the abalone but helped people get advantages.

Does Abalone Shell Protect from EMF
Electromagnetic fields (EMF), Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR), and Microwave Radiation (MR) have negative consequences on our health. They are the leading cause of illness in our society, including oxidative stress, digestive issues, eye problems, and premature aging. Science has broadened our horizons and allowed us to investigate some of the metaphysical and non-physical influences of natural components in our world. We experience stress as a result of the radiation.
Experts have found healing properties in quartz, crystals as well as seashells. They are considered neutralizers and they tend to absorb greater frequencies into lesser frequencies. Sea Shells & Abalone shells may also be able to decrease the effect of EMF although there is still much more to be known about EMF. One metaphysical ability of Abalone shells is they can heal people with oxidative stress and it gives a peaceful effect. Abalone shell, orgonite, copper (both good EMF protectors) are used and made into a pyramid with epoxy resin as a decoration, and pendants are sold online. Although Sea Shells alone do not show any notable reduction.

Abalone shell decreases oxidative stress, which is primarily generated by EMF-producing devices in your vicinity. As a result, it is always preferable to use such an organic element near your televisions, computer tables, or to combine them with particular art to increase the beauty as well as the protection.
Combining with Crystals
You may recall learning about the protective nature of tourmalines against Electromagnetic Field radiations in one of my previous posts, and you will learn about the abalone shell in this article. However, how about combining both the organic stone and the shell to enhance both the beauty and the protection from EMF radiations?

Alternatives of Abalone Shell
The alternative of Abalone are as follows:-
Natural Kabibbie Shell
This is a pendant with an orgone ionic coating that is designed to produce orgone effects. This is just an energy item that creates charges around the body, regulating the magnetic field/aura. It is meant to provide EMF protection.
This orgone product blocks EMF from WiFi, smart meters, 5G, and cellphones, causing adverse effects from electromagnetic radiation and earth radiation. This is somehow better than an abalone shell because there is no authentic dialogue about its effectiveness.
