Baculite Cephalopod Polished Fossil 1.5"

Polished Baculite Cephalopod fossils, measuring about 1.5". Colors, shapes and sizes can vary. 

Cephalopods are a group of marine animals that includes squid, octopus, cuttlefish, or nautilus. Cephalopod fossils are typically found in sedimentary rocks such as limestone, shale, and sandstone. Cephalopod literally means “head foot” in Greek, a reference to the way the cephalopod's head connects to its many arms. Baculites ("walking stick rock") is an extinct genus of cephalopods with a nearly straight shell, included in the heteromorph ammonites.

Revered by many cultures for centuries, Fossils, because of their age, are often utilized as talismans for protection and long life. They are links to the past and, as such, can be helpful for past-life visualization, astral travel and increased knowledge of ancient ways. Fossils are a great grounding stone, connecting the user to the Divine Feminine energy of the Earth. 

Each piece is similar, though no item at Crystal Joys is exactly the same as every item uses a unique stone that is non-fabricated.  Every item at Crystal Joys is truly "one of a kind". Slight variations in color, size and bead shape exist.
