Crystal pieces and Crystal lamps are naturally formed and carefully extracted; however, they often can have imperfections, inclusions, druzy pockets, what appear to be cracks or roughness, and can have variations in color. This is to be expected with authentic, natural real crystals and gemstones. While these may appear to be “imperfections” they are not. Each of our crystals and gemstones are one of a kind, have a unique story and special character. We appreciate the difference in each one of our special pieces. We hand select each of our pieces for you and stand by their quality and authenticity and hope you too appreciate their uniqueness!
Orthoceras stones are black and gray limestone fossils of an extinct nautiloid cephalopod. Derived from the ancient Greek words, orthos meaning “straight” and keras meaning “horn”, this stone was formed from a long straight conical shell. Often polished by collectors, Orthoceras is found in many of the areas of the world, but the larger discoveries have been in Morocco, Antarctica, the Scandinavian region and the United States. Still, once it is uncovered and the site it located, the amount of Orthoceras exposed is typically abundant making it a common stone.
History
The orthoceras cephalopod was alive around 400 million years ago, which is one reason that this stone is so popular amongst collectors and enjoyable to possess. Modern day squids and octopus are the descendants of this ancient squid-like creature. Many of the abundant sites where these fossils are found lie in the sands of the Sahara Desert, giving another piece of evidence that the Sahara desert was once under a large body of water. Although most Orthoceras stones are found at only a few inches in size, the original animal could grow up to 14 feet in length. It is used as not only a healing stone today but is also used commonly in decorating with jewelry and used to decorate walls and for countertops.
