Product detailed description

Ammonites are an extinct group of molluscs that are closely related to octopuses. The earliest traces of ammonites date back to 420 million years ago, while the last known traces date back to 60 million years ago. Its name derives from the Egyptian god Ammon, who was depicted with a ram's horn. Pliny the Elder first recorded these fossils in 79 AD near Pompeii and originally named them Ammonis Cornua after their horn-like shape. The creatures that lived in these shells swam in open waters and filled the chambers of the shell with gas to maintain buoyancy. Ammonites are found all over the world, but the vast majority of commercial supplies come from Morocco.

These creatures lived in an environment capable of producing megalithic animals, partly because of the elevated oxygen levels in the Earth's atmosphere. The energies they held were rich in strength, endurance and longevity. These attributes of Earth's first biological creatures can still be felt today when meditating with a mind willing to understand and accept the past. Only by learning from our ancestors' past can we grow and change. The deep earthly energy of the Ammonites provides us with guidance to move further away from harmful situations
