Peace & Harmony ABALONE Mystical Cufflinks Vintage Oceanic Women's Delicate Cuff Accessory. These shells are associated with healing, serenity, calmness, nobility, and honesty. Abalone is also reported to stimulate psychic development and intuition, and promote imagination in a healthy way. Abalone has been used by Kemetic (ancient Egyptian), Phoenician, Greek, Roman, Italian (Stregha), Celtic (Druidic and Faerie), French, Spanish, Portuguese, Gypsy, Norse, Germanic, British, Scottish, African, Polynesian, Japanese, Chinese, Asian Indian, and Native American peoples. Abalone is purported to be especially useful for handling and calming emotional situations, and be very soothing to the emotions. Having abalone nearby when working through an emotional situation with someone is said to be beneficial, and promotes cooperation. Abalone is associated with the first three chakras. Mystical lore suggests that abalone is helpful for arthritis and other joint disorders, muscle problems, the heart, and digestion. The shell of the abalone is exceptionally strong. It is made of microscopic calcium carbonate tiles stacked like bricks. Between the layers of shells is a clingy protein substance. When the abalone shell is struck, the tiles slide instead of shattering and the protein stretches to absorb the energy of the blow. Healing Properties of Abalone Shell Holding a piece of abalone shell may make you feel: love, beauty, gentleness, caring, comfort, peacefulness, delight, solace, sand, water. Abalone Shell has the colors of the ocean in it, blues, greens, purples and yellows. It is soft to the touch from repeated tumbles in the sand and water. It has slight ripples on it like the patterns left in the sand as the waves lapse over it. It is comforting to hold it and rub the softness like you would a worry stone. People are instantly taken with its beautiful colors. To look at it brings me instantly to the ocean. For those of you who have never been to the ocean, buy a piece of it, and bring a little piece of the ocean to you. A perfect addition to a collection or a gift to that special someone. ∆ Maker: unknown ∆ Material: Abalone shell, goldtone metal ∆ Size: see photo ∆ Weight: light/medium ∆ Condition: In good vintage pre-owned condition. ∆ Lovely patina!
