🌊 Abalone Shell 🐚 Mother Ocean’s Jewel
“Hold the ocean in your hands. Let your rituals be ancient again.” 🐚🌊✨
Each Abalone shell is a gift from the sea, formed slowly in the cool, pristine coastal waters of South Africa, where ocean tides, moon cycles, and sunlight shape their natural iridescent colour.
Like mermaid armour, every shell carries the shifting colours of ocean light 
opal blues, pearl pinks, seafoam greens, golden coral warmth, and soft violet shimmer.
No two are ever the same, each one is a one-of-a-kind ocean treasure.
