This pin is composed of an all natural pinecone slice. A powerful talisman of our natural world said to stimulate the pineal gland and treasured for their intricate markings. This one features a beautiful piece of Abalone shell. Abalone healing carries energies of protection and emotional balance. It brings a natural shield that blesses the person holding it with tranquility. It's especially helpful for those going through emotional trauma or those having a hard time dealing with a situation in a relationship. Through it’s soothing energy, it provides a layer of protection that lifts the spirit up with the confidence necessary to view situations from a new & more understanding perspective. These pieces are all amazing wonders of nature and each displays its own unique shape and pattern. 
Every piece is hand-sawed and sanded by me in my workshop after being carefully cleaned and cured. They are then coated in a nice glaze to give them a glass-like finish and make them extra durable. 
 
Care is simple- keep pinecone pins out of hot cars with windows up!! Heat causes all wood to expand and the same goes for these. Leaving them in such conditions can cause cracking or breaking to the piece. However, these can be worn on the hottest of days in the sun without a problem. Simply wipe with a dry cloth to clean off fingerprints, dust, etc.
