The earliest traces of Ammonite date back to 420 million years ago, while the last known traces fall to 60 million years ago. Its name is derived from the Egyptian god Ammon, who was depicted wearing a ram's horn. Pliny the Elder first recorded these fossils in 79 A.D. near Pompeii and originally named them Ammonis Cornua after their horn-like shape. The creatures that lived in these shells swam in open waters, filling chambers of the shell with gas to maintain buoyancy. Ammonites are found all over the world, however, a large majority of the commercial supply comes out of Morocco.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"article-heading article-heading--p1 article-heading--l3\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"article-heading article-heading--p1 article-heading--l3\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDuring medieval times in Europe, Ammonites that were discovered were said to be fossilized snakes and given the name “snakestones” or “serpent stones”. In the early 1600’s Saxon Abbess Saint Hilda was tasked with removing snakes from the area so that their village could build a sacred church. Her duty was vital due to their belief in the representation of the devil through the snake. Hilda was said to have cast a spell that turned the snakes to stone, throwing them off the cliffs. This tale was so popular that carvers would sculpt snakeheads into the fossilized Ammonites to further portray the lore. Due to these stories, Ammonites were believed to be a protectant against snake bites.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"article-heading article-heading--p1 article-heading--l3\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"article-heading article-heading--p1 article-heading--l3\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAmmonites are one of the very few meditation trinkets that contain ancient life force energy capable of being channeled into the present day.

These creatures lived in a habitat capable of creating megalith animals partially due to the heightened oxygen levels within Earth’s atmosphere. The energies in which they held were abundant in strength, perseverance, 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 when we learn from our ancestral past can we grow and change.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"article-heading article-heading--p1 article-heading--l3\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"article-heading article-heading--p1 article-heading--l3\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAmmonites were one of the longest living creatures this world has ever seen. They roamed our seas freely for nearly 350 million years. This was a testament to their will to not only live but become intelligent enough to outwit millions of years of evolutionary creatures. These ancient mollusks were widely hunted, yet thrived on fear to be able to progress and develop over time. This is very reminiscent of our own place in this world today. Each day our energies are given to the wrong person and have the ability to result in being taken advantage of. The natural predatory instinct of all creatures on Earth when we are being prayed upon causes us to activate our intuition and listen to our voice of reason. Ammonites’ deep earthen energy provides us with guidance and leadership to further distance ourselves from harmful situations (much like our Ammonite friend had to do each and every day).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"article-heading article-heading--p1 article-heading--l3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"article-heading article-heading--p1 article-heading--l3\"\u003e\n\u003csection data-mce-fragment=\"1\" id=\"shopify-section-template--15601034428605__main\" class=\"shopify-section section\"\u003e\n\u003csection data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"page-width section-template--15601034428605__main-padding\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"product product--small product--stacked grid grid--1-col grid--2-col-tablet\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"product__info-wrapper grid__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" id=\"ProductInfo-template--15601034428605__main\" class=\"product__info-container product__info-container--sticky\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"product__description rte\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"article-heading article-heading--p1 article-heading--l3\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"article-heading article-heading--p1 article-heading--l3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"article-heading article-heading--p1 article-heading--l3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"article-heading article-heading--p1 article-heading--l3\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"article-heading article-heading--p1 article-heading--l3\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*All Sales are final\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"article-heading article-heading--p1 article-heading--l3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"article-heading__inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"XbtRGb qxsd NV5pMe yF5Gqd wDYxhc\" data-md=\"50\" lang=\"en-US\" data-hveid=\"CDoQAA\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwjJrf7E59b3AhULDkQIHWzXCGYQkCl6BAg6EAA\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"PZPZlf hb8SAc\" data-attrid=\"description\" data-hveid=\"CDoQAQ\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwjJrf7E59b3AhULDkQIHWzXCGYQziAoAHoECDoQAQ\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv jscontroller=\"GCSbhd\" jsaction=\"SKAaMe:c0XUbe;rcuQ6b:npT2md\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv jscontroller=\"QhoyLd\" jsaction=\"rcuQ6b:npT2md\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"kno-rdesc\" jsname=\"g7W7Ed\" jscontroller=\"GCSbhd\" jsaction=\"seM7Qe:c0XUbe;Iigoee:c0XUbe;rcuQ6b:npT2md\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"kno-rdesc\" jsname=\"g7W7Ed\" jscontroller=\"GCSbhd\" jsaction=\"seM7Qe:c0XUbe;Iigoee:c0XUbe;rcuQ6b:npT2md\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"kno-rdesc\" jsname=\"g7W7Ed\" jscontroller=\"GCSbhd\" jsaction=\"seM7Qe:c0XUbe;Iigoee:c0XUbe;rcuQ6b:npT2md\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNote:\u003cbr\u003eThese are natural crystals with possible surface marks, chips, or pits, which add to the character of the crystal. I do my best to capture them in the photo, but they may not show up properly.
