Abalone shells have been used as ceremonial vessels in smudging rituals, where herbs or sacred plants, such as sage, cedar, or sweetgrass, are burned to cleanse and purify a space, objects, or individuals. The shell's curved shape holds the burning herbs safely, and the iridescent interior is believed to amplify the cleansing and purifying properties of the smoke.
