What is Abalone? Abalone is a natural gemstone made from the shell of the abalone sea mollusk. In fact, there are over a hundred varieties of abalone worldwide. One of these varieties is the mother of pearl. Abalone symbolizes strength and healing because abalone mollusks can repair and heal their shells. In particular, the abalone shell is sacred to many cultures including the Maori people of New Zealand and the Apache Nation in North America.
