The Timeless Allure of Ammonites
Long before they became cherished fossils, Ammonites roamed the oceans of the Mesozoic era, their coiled shells offering both protection and a mesmerizing design. Named after the Egyptian god Ammon, whose ram’s horns mirrored their spiralled shapes, Ammonites have long been associated with power, protection, and eternal cycles of life.
Throughout history, these fossils have captured imaginations. Ancient Egyptians viewed them as sacred talismans, believing they held protective powers and symbolized prosperity. For the Blackfoot people of North America, Ammonites—known as "Iniskim" or buffalo stones—were revered as symbols of abundance and good fortune. Even during the Middle Ages in Europe, these fossils, referred to as "snakestones," were believed to possess magical properties, warding off harm and bringing luck to those who carried them.
The enduring fascination with Ammonites lies not only in their history but also in their natural beauty. Each fossil tells a story of resilience, change, and the intricate artistry of nature.
