Abalone shells are often used for
smudging ceremonies by the Native Americans in the United States and
Canada.
These abalone shells have been cleaned, bleached, and treated in muriatic acid and/or dipped in a light coating of resin. The outside of the shell is clean, but still rough. They are not recommended for use in food consumption. The sizes have been
obtained by measuring the longest side of the shell with a flat ruler. We weighed a random 5"-6" abalone shell as 4 oz., and a group of four 5"-6" as 1 lb.
