Metaphysical & Healing Properties

While many of our customers find spiritual and energetic resonance with our crystals, all metaphysical and healing claims are based on traditional and cultural beliefs. These statements have not been evaluated by licensed medical professionals and are not intended to replace medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. We do not recommend using crystals as a substitute for conventional medical or psychological treatment and do not claim they cure or heal medical conditions.

Natural Beauty & Authenticity

Our crystal pieces and lamps are naturally formed and carefully extracted. Inclusions, druzy pockets, surface texture, and color variations are part of their authentic character—not flaws. These features reflect the raw beauty and ancient story held within each stone. We honor these natural distinctions and hand-select every piece with care, ensuring quality, integrity, and a touch of magic.

 Frequently called the “Fossil of Harmony”, Ammonites were marine mollusks existing around 416 million years ago and were once the most abundant animals of the ancient seas.  To this day, scientists have identified more than 10,000 diverse species of Ammonite.  Due to their abundance during this time, they can be found nearly everywhere on planet Earth. Ammonites are extinct marine mollusks called Ammonoids.  These mollusks in the Ammonoid category, commonly referred to as ammonites, are more closely related to other cephalopods such as the living squid, octopus, and cuttlefish.  They were early relatives of the modern Nautilus.  They had well developed eyes and tentacles for grasping their food.  The Ammonites came in many different shapes and sizes from smaller than an inch to as large as 9 feet wide.  Their shells also varied in appearance from long straight shells to coiled and helix shapes.  The most common of the Ammonite had coiled shells lined with progressively larger chambers separated by thin walls called septa.  As the animals grew, so did their chambers, although the bodies of these creatures would always remain in the outer largest chamber.  The color of these fossils varies from blue, purple, and pink, while the most common naturally occurring colors range from brown to gray.  The Ammonites became extinct 66 million years ago during the planet’s most recent mass extinction event that also led to the demise of the dinosaurs.  This was due to a massive asteroid which slammed into the earth and destroyed three fourths of all species on our planet. 

Geologists and Paleontologists often use the ammonite fossil as an index, meaning they can help date other fossils, as it is possible to link the rock layer in which they are found to specific geologic time periods.  When the Ammonite perished, they fell to the bottom of the seafloor where they were gradually covered by layers of sediment.  Their “mother of pearl” coating is often preserved due to the composition of the environment at that time and the sediment in which they were buried. 

History

The name Ammonite stems from the God Ammon who took on the form of a ram.  Ammon had spiral like horns and was an Ethiopian or Libyan deity who eventually was worshiped throughout Egypt and Greece.  Ammonite was believed to harness the energy of ancient wisdom and was widely used for tools in healing and transformation.  In India the fossils are identified with the god Vishnu and are used in many spiritual ceremonies, while the Hindu used the fossil in religious ceremonies and is still coveted and sacred today.  Hindus believed this fossil to activate the Kundalini, the form of divine feminine energy located at the base of the spine.  It is said that the discus used by the ancient Greeks in their Olympics, was a fossilized Ammonite.
