Life Force & Earth energy
This Large Fossiliferous Ammonite and Orthoceras Marble sphere 173mm weighs 7440g. It is full of different fossilised remains of ancient ocean life.
Ammonite is a powerful healing fossil. The Ammonites dominated the earth’s oceans for 350 million years, making them one of the longest living creatures seen on Earth. They were a group of mollusc animals related to octopus and squid. The earliest traces date back to 420 million years ago and they were present until 60 million years ago.
The Ammonite’s spiral shape symbolises continual change and evolution. Ammonites have absorbed cosmic energy over millennia, which helps stimulate the life force within us. Having an Ammonite in your home will attract health, prosperity and success.
Orthoceras is a stone of transformation. Orthoceras activates the Root Chakra by grounding you with ancient Earth energy.
Orthoceras were Cephalopods, ancestors to modern-day squid and octopus. The Orthoceras ranged in size from one centimetre to over two metres in length. They could swim as well as crawl on the ocean floor. By filling the chambers in their shells with air they could float through the seas, propelling themselves by squirting jets of water.
They are a long straight form of Ammonite fossil, mainly found and mined in Morocco. The fossil remains preserved in this stone originated there and were shaped into this sphere. Orthoceras fossils are among the earliest recognizable animals.
The younger examples are around 110-million-year-old. Others are much older than that, with their main period from 443 million years up to 485-million-years ago. The oceans at the time in the Ordovician Period teemed with life. As they died, their shells accumulated upon the ocean floor, then were covered by sediments.
