I'm glad you got one then does it have properties?

Abalone shell has been used in many cultures as a decorative jewelry and for carvings. A disc of abalone shell is worn on the forehead of Apache girls as they greet the sun in the morning of their initiation into womanhood. It strengthens the structure of the body and the functions of the heart chakra. Both pearl and abalone shell hold the same divinatory meaning ~
Intimately connected to the sea
Represents the tides of emotion
An easy flow of feelings and sensitivities to others
Connected to family and particularly motherhood
Harmony in relationships
The play and variety of colors represent change as the beauty of existence

That's really pretty thanks for the info Tawny
