Ammonites are long extinct pieces of history that make gorgeous decorative statements in both traditional and contemporary rooms.
AMMONITE HISTORY:
The Ammonites survived several mass extinctions during the 330 million years they lived on Earth. The end of the Cretaceous Period (65 million years ago) was also the end for these cephalopods- history fans, take note! Ammonites are found as fossils in most countries throughout the world. The name comes from the shell’s appearance: it resembles a ram’s horn.
What we now see is only the shell of the ammonite. The ammonite lived in the larger opening at the end of the shell, which acted as protection and enabled the ammonite to regulate its body pressure as it moved through different depths of water.
AMMONITE LORE:
Lots of good lore about ammonite: all seem to attribute prosperity, health and good luck to the fossils. They are considered to be protective stones that give stability and structure to a person’s life, are also said to change negativity into smoothly flowing energy. Ammonites are symbolic of the higher forces of the universe and their shape is said to attract and store wealth. Feng Shui believers consider ammonite to be high energy stones that enhance the vitality, harmony, prosperity, and overall well-being of occupants and visitors of a home.
Whether you like them for their beauty or for their “meaning”, they are fascinating relics, jewels of the earth.
