🐚 History of Ammonite

🦑 What Is Ammonite?

Ammonites were extinct marine mollusks (similar to the modern-day nautilus) that lived around 240–65 million years ago, during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras.

Their fossilized shells are commonly found in sedimentary rock, often in a spiral shape and occasionally opalized into beautiful iridescent colors (called Ammolite).

📜 Name Origin

The name comes from the Egyptian god Ammon (or Amun), who was often depicted with ram’s horns. Ancient people saw a resemblance between ammonite fossils and coiled ram horns, calling them “Ammon’s Stones.”

🌍 Global Locations

Found worldwide, especially in:

Canada (Alberta is famous for colorful Ammolite)

Ammolite (an opalized form of Ammonite) is officially recognized as a gemstone and is the official gemstone of Alberta, Canada.

🏛️ Cultural Significance

Used by many ancient cultures for protection, fertility, and good fortune.

In Feng Shui, it's considered to hold the perfect flow of chi (life force), due to its spiral pattern and connection to natural evolution.

Tibetan and Indian traditions sometimes refer to it as Shaligram, a sacred fossil associated with Vishnu.
