Ref.PD0943 - Silver pendant with ammonite fossil, and turquoise gemstone.

The ammonite, with its distinctive spiral shape, carries several deep meanings:

-    Continual Change and Evolution: Ammonites symbolize the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth, reflecting the idea of continuous personal growth and evolution. Their spiral form suggests an ever-expanding journey of self-improvement and transformation.
-    Time and Eternity: The ancient nature of ammonite fossils, some dating back millions of years, imbues them with the symbolism of time, history, and eternity. They serve as reminders of the vastness of time and our small but significant place within it.
-    Cosmic Consciousness: Due to their age and the spiral pattern, ammonites are often linked to cosmic or universal consciousness, representing the connection between individual existence and the larger universe.
-    Balance and Harmony: The geometric perfection of the ammonite's spiral is believed to resonate with the principles of balance and harmony in one's life, allowing to focus on achieving equilibrium between body, mind, and spirit.
-    Protection and Grounding: Ammonites are considered protective stones. They are thought to absorb negative energy, providing grounding and stabilizing influences. The spiral can also symbolize a protective barrier or shield.
-    Intuition and Insight: The fossil's connection to ancient Earth energies is thought to enhance intuition and psychic abilities, helping one to see the 'big picture' or gain insights into past lives and spiritual paths.
-    Fertility and Vitality: In some cultures, ammonites are associated with fertility due to their spiral shape, symbolizing life's creative forces and the vitality needed for growth.
-    Healing: Ammonites are believed to have healing properties, particularly for conditions related to the circulatory system, lungs, and emotional well-being, due to their calming energy.
-    Prosperity: Some spiritual practitioners view ammonites as symbols of prosperity, wealth, and abundance, often linked with the spiral's representation of growth and expansion.
-    Spiritual Journey: The spiral can also represent the spiritual journey or path, with each turn of the spiral representing a step deeper into one's spiritual understanding or closer to enlightenment.

Ammonites might be used in meditation, as decorative items for spiritual enhancement, in jewelry for personal empowerment, or placed in the home to bring about balance, protection, and connection to the Earth's ancient energies. They are cherished not just for their aesthetic appeal but for their metaphysical properties, symbolizing a bridge between the past and present, the material and the spiritual.
