Orthoceras & Ammonite Fossil Mortar & Pestle (Polished)

These 5" tall X 4" wide mortar & 4" tall X 1 1/2" wide pestle of solid polished ammonite & orthoceras fossil are beautifully designed to use for crushing herbs, and other things for cooking or ritual & spellwork. Orthoceras, also known as Orthoceratites, is a genus of extinct nautiloid cephalopod. Its name is derived from the words “straight horn”, referring to it’s long, conical shell. These creatures roamed the seas during the Ordovician Period (485 million - 443 million years ago). They are the ancient ancestors of ammonites and squid that can be found in sizes ranging from a centimeter to over 14 feet long. 

Having roamed the seas over 400 million years ago, this creature was living in a world that looked much different than it does today. By meditating with the fossil’s energy, one may feel a connection to that ancient Earth and all the knowledge that it contains. This stone will offer up an abundance of life force energy which can be used in areas where we need it most. Orthoceras will activate our root chakra by grounding us down to earth with ancient energy. This fossil pushes us on a path of transformation, from who we were, to who were are and to who we want to be. We can use the information gathered by visualizing these past lives and then apply it to who we are today.
