Derived from the mollusk called haliotis assimilis, threaded abalone has an arched shell with many ridges. The dynamic shell is often used as the outlay for ornaments and interior décor. Threaded abalone is most prominently found on Laguna beach. Size is approximately 3".

Place a few dried sage pieces or sweet grass in the bottom of the shell with sand, ignite then blow out flame and the sage or grass will release a cloud of white, purifying smoke.
