Ammonite Fossil ~ Macrame Gemstone Necklace

Size adjustable


When you start looking into the topic of crystals and gemstones, it can be a little overwhelming at first. What makes the small and large energy stones so special? Which one is right for me and what effect is it known for? And then what do I do with it? Don't worry, we felt the same way at the beginning. The first thing you need to know: You can't really do anything wrong. Gemstones can be easily integrated into your everyday life.

Gemstones are considered powerful companions, especially at a time when we spend most of our day looking at small screens. We quickly forget the world around us and feel separated - from nature, our fellow human beings and ultimately ourselves.
Even if you quickly forget it with the dazzling colors and extraordinary cuts: gemstones come from nature. They arise from magma inside the earth or through high pressure on a rock and can transfer this energy to us. It often takes many thousands of years for a stone to penetrate the earth's surface.
The stone you finally hold in your hands is many years older and carries a lot of wisdom and power. Let this thought ground you, arrive in the moment and look not only to the future, but also to what has already been. This is the only way we can learn.
Whether you just wear your new companion and let it work on you ~ or use it for rituals and ceremonies is now in your hands.

Ammonite is the stone of the third decade of Cancer. The ammonite, as a fossil of an extinct species of cephalopod native exclusively to the sea, fits well with the proximity to the element of water in cancer of the third decade. He manages to bring the different forces within him into harmony, something that cancer often fails to do. Ammonite helps Cancer to accept the natural course of things and to be steadfast in the face of it. It promotes Cancer's intuition and thus gives the necessary gut feeling when making decisions. Empathy and harmony are also important meanings of ammonite. With its tortuous appearance it promotes the development of cancer from the inside out.

Name: Cleoniceras (Grycia) cf. besairiei
Origin: Madagascar
Age: upper Lower Cretaceous, Albian, approx. 105 million years

Ammonite stands for eternity and resurrection, life force, wisdom and infinity.
In Feng Shui, it is considered a stone that improves the flow of chi, promoting well-being and health. It is also said to detoxify the body.
Some neopagan movements assign the ammonite to the goddess - because of its spiral shape - and use it for meditation or for rituals relating to fertility, birth and as a protective stone for children.

What the Ammonites really looked like, how they moved and how they lived has not yet been clearly proven and remains the subject of controversial discussions.
All we have left of them are fossil remains, stone cores - rarely preserved mother-of-pearl from their shells.
The ammonite lived in a spirally wound shell that was divided into chambers inside. The animal was in the outermost chamber. The “compartments” of its housing were connected via a channel called a “siphon”. It is believed that the siphon was used to pump gas (or water) in and out of the chambers to regulate the diving depth and buoyancy of the animals in the water.
The images that place ammonites visually close to squid and octopuses are speculation. Since their soft parts – the actual animals – are gone, their shape cannot be reconstructed with certainty. It is possible that the living ammonites were just as diverse in shape and variety as their shells, which show a wide spectrum from smooth shapes to specimens with thorns and species with differently pronounced ribs.

The ammonites were probably first mentioned by the Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder. Older (23-79 AD). He can also be seen as their "godfather", because the name ammonite goes back to the fossil's similarity to the ram's horns of the Egyptian god Amun (Ammon), which Pliny noticed. The paleontologist and geologist Karl Alfred von Ritter (1839-1904) introduced the systematization of the family Ammonidae into modern science.
