Paua/Abalone

What happens when we let the beauty of the delicate speak its language?

Paua shell – also known as abalone – carries with it the movement of time, the sea and the ancients.
In many indigenous traditions, it is considered a protective and deeply intuitive gift from the sea.

Its shimmer is said to reflect our emotions and reminds us that we contain many nuances – just like life itself.

It is believed to strengthen the connection with the feminine, with our deepest inner self, and at the same time have a calming effect on emotional unrest.

The energy of the shell is often described as motherly, comforting and present. It can also be experienced as opening up to spiritual communication and strengthening the ability to listen – both inwardly and to the wisdom that whispers through time and water.

When the world feels too loud, the paua's shimmer can whisper to you: you are the ocean, not the waves.
