The abalone shell is traditionally used to burn herbs and smudges. A stick can be placed against the edge while still alight. ( Do not leave unattended )
Smudge sticks are made from sacred herbs and used to clear energy in people, spaces and even tools like crystals and candles. The smoke of the sacred herb clears energy and creates an aura of protection. We also love using it whenever we feel low, out of sorts and to give thanks.
