###### **Abalone Smudging Shell 5" – Natural Green & Brown Mama Cocha**

###### Rustic Abalone Smudging Shell • Mama Cocha “Mother of the Waters” • Natural Ritual Vessel

This **Natural Green & Brown Abalone Smudging Shell (5")** is a rustic ceremonial vessel traditionally used for **smudging rituals, incense burning, altar offerings, and spiritual cleansing practices**.

Unlike highly polished abalone shells, these shells are **naturally rustic**. They are gently cleaned but **left in their organic state**, preserving the raw beauty of the ocean-formed textures and earthy colours.

In Andean traditions the shell represents **Mama Cocha (Mama Qucha)** — the **Mother of the Waters, oceans, and seas**. She embodies the **divine feminine energy of water**, symbolising purification, emotional balance, and the life-giving power of the ocean.

With its **deep natural form**, this shell is perfect for holding **sage bundles, Palo Santo, incense, resins, or ceremonial offerings** during rituals and meditation practices.

Each shell is shaped naturally by the sea, displaying **unique tones of green, brown, white, and soft pink** within the nacre interior.
