    Safe to water cleanse? No. It’s important to handle ammonite fossils with care as they are delicate and can be easily damaged. Cleanse them gently using a soft brush or cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals or excessive moisture as these can potentially harm the integrity of the fossil.

    Ammonite FossilAmmonites, or Ammonoidea, are extinct shelled cephalopods or marine molluscs dating from the Devonian period (circa 400 million years ago) and the end of the Cretaceous period (circa 66 million years ago). The scientific study of Ammonites began in the 18th century, and they continue to be a subject of fascination for palaeontologists and collectors today. Their fossils formed when mollusc shells became buried in sediment after their death. Over time, the shell material underwent various geological processes such as compaction and mineralisation, leading to the formation of these unique fossils.

    In ancient times, Ammonites were considered sacred objects and were used as symbols of luck, protection, and divine connection. These fossils have also been utilised in jewellery, decorative items, and as educational tools to study Earth’s natural history and evolution. Ammonites are also important index fossils, useful for determining the relative ages of rock layers in geological strata. Different species of Ammonites lived during specific time periods, and by identifying the fossils found in a particular rock layer, scientists can establish its age and correlate it with other geological formations.

    The Spiritual Vibes

    Ammonite fossils carry a powerful spiritual energy and are believed to hold the wisdom of ancient civilisations and the Earth’s natural history. Use these fossils in spiritual practices to enhance divine connection, stimulate personal growth, and promote balance and harmony. Their spiral shape is believed to facilitate the flow of energy and aid in spiritual transformation.
