A powerful earth-healing stone, Ammonite is created by compression and mineralisation of an ammonite fossil. Reputedly named after the spiral horn of the Egyptian god Amon, Ammonite also derives from the Greek for “horn”. In ancient Greece, Pliny the Elder declared ammonite a most holy stone because it installed prophetic dreams. In the Middle Ages ammonite were believed to be dragons’ heads and were bound to the left arm for magical protection. The Blackfoot tribe of North America, who called it Buffalo Stone, used it to ward off evil spirits. This stone converts negative energy into a harmoniously flowing spiral. Holding the wisdom of the ancients, it is particularly effect placed on the soma chakra (just above the third eye). A powerful karmic cleanser, it releases mental obsessions.
Ammonite represents coming full circle and activates personal empowerment. Stimulating survival instincts and encoding your life path, Ammonite offers structure and clarity, and relieves birth trauma affecting craniosacral flow. Called the Seven Colour Prosperity Stone by Feng Shui masters, Ammonite has absorbed cosmic energy over eons and stimulates Qi, life force, through the body. Keep in the home to attract health and prosperity, and in business premises to promote business dealings.
