Rainbow Abalone (Paua) Haliotis Iris

The Haliotis Iris shell has beautiful colors and is not called Rainbow Abalone for nothing. The color spectrum is predominantly blue and green and this variant of mother-of-pearl is called paua by the Maori, the original population of New Zealand.

New Zealand paua have the most beautiful color in the world and are used for burning loose white sage and smudges. Smudging is an ancient Native American custom of burning a bundle of herbs and/or fragrant woods such as white sage and palo santo in the abalone shell. This as part of a ritual ceremony or to energetically cleanse the house and other rooms. The natural holes in the shell ensure air supply.
