Pink abalone – incense shell
Haliotis Kamtshatkana – Incense bowl
This abalone is slightly smaller and flatter than the rainbow abalone. It also has a beautiful mother-of-pearl sheen with light pink tones. The shell brings the element of water into the incense, making it energetically softer and more graceful.
Some herbs such as sage and cedar can be smouldered directly in your conch, without charcoal. If you want to perform a charcoal incense, fill the conch with a sufficient amount of sand beforehand, place the charcoal tablet on top, and the sound of the sea will join the song of the wind, the blazing glow of the fire and the aromatic scents of your incense.
You can also use the shell to charge or clean your gemstones or as a pretty soap dish. You get a unique natural product, no two bowls are alike.
