Shiva Shell ~ Shiva shell (also known as Pacific Cat’s Eye) is a naturally occurring gem of calcium carbonate that forms on the shell of a Turban Snail. This portion of the shell acts as an operculum, a “trapdoor,” so to speak. This closes to maintain moisture levels for the animal and to protect it from other creatures. When the operculum is shed at the end of the snail’s life, it falls to the sand in the ocean shallows, where it is collected. Shiva shell has a multitude of uses and representations. It embodies the idea of transformation, constant change, and the circle of creation and destruction. It transmutes negativity into positivity, improving well-being. Shiva shell offers protection, luck, and prosperity to travelers, fisherman, and other explorers. It is thought to balance chakras and support lymph nodes, kidneys, liver, and reproductive organs. Because it comes from the ocean, it calms and soothes, though it can also encourage a sense of adventure. Meditate with a shiva shell to open the Third Eye and gain insight, intuition, understanding, and deeper self-awareness. Place your Shiva shell in the moonlight – or pass it through sage smoke- to cleanse and recharge.
