The allure of taxidermy, brought to you by {name}

Jonas Rathaj

Fantastic abalone in many colours. This haliotis iris is a real rainbow, with unique reflections and a beautiful colour contrast. The shell weighs 50 grams and is naturally covered with mother-of-pearl both inside and out.

This marvellous shell, originating from Madagascar, is called a 'sea ear' or 'sea opal'. It is believed to be a magical gift from the sea, stimulating fertility of the mind and body by increasing self-esteem and physical energy. It is also considered the ideal support for shamanic incense, because of the meaning of cyclicity, vitality and universality it represents.
