Ammonites are fossils of the Cretaceous period, holding energies for more than 370 million years! Associated with both the Earth and Water elements, Ammonite Fossils are used in grounding, cleansing, and spiritual healing. They are known to impart a sense of motivation and resilience when we are going through difficult times in life, and are believed to be natural filters that draw away negative energies, fears, doubts, and ruminations. Since they instill a positive thought process grounded in the nurturing support of Mother Earth, they make excellent tools for introspective meditation and Root Chakra work. The organic spiral shape of Ammonite Fossils is also useful for drawing in positive energies, luck, and opportunities that will provide new avenues for growth. As with all Fossils, Ammonites hold a wealth and abundance of ancient knowledge just waiting to be discovered!
Ammonite fossils survive into the modern day because their organic material has been mineralized! This amazing process occurs when minerals such as Calcite, Aragonite, Pyrite, or Hematite replace the original organic material while retaining its shape. Most Ammonite fossils are comprised of Aragonite, which is how some of them can take on natural iridescence. Specimens with a highly vibrant shine similar to opalescence are sometimes called Ammolite and used to make jewelry.
