Ammonite

Ammonites are the fossilized remains of an aquatic animal that lived millions of years ago. Ammonite connects us with the past, bringing its lessons into the present and resolving old karma.

Ammonite fossils are the basis of a gemstone called Ammolite.

About Ammonite

Ammonite is a fossil. Fossils tend to be soft and Ammonite it no different. Landing on the Mohs hardness scale at 4 means that it can be scratched easily.

Ammonites were eight legged cephalopods that lived in many places around the world from 450 to 66 million years ago. Their disappearance coincides with a global mass extinction. Their fossils vary in size and can be found in sedimentary rock in many places including:

  • Canada
  • France
  • Germany
  • Switzerland
  • The United States

The name Ammonite comes from the Egyptian god Ammon, or Zeus Ammon to the Greeks.

People once believed that Ammonite fossils had held snakes. Because of this Ammonite was referred to as Snakestone.

Snakestones were used as a charm to protect against serpents and baldness, and to promote fertility.
