From Morocco, this listing is for an orthoceras heart shaped box. Many of the sea creatures trapped forever in limestone are orthoceras, however, the lid has been strategically carved to show off a fossil ammonite. This box is the perfect place for a special little gift or jewelry and tumbles.
Orthoceras is a genus of extinct nautiloid cephalopod restricted to Middle Ordovician-aged marine limestones of the Baltic States and Sweden. This genus is sometimes called Orthoceratites. Embedded in limestone, it's harvested from the ocean floor.
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage. -Aniis Nin
Take yourself back to a time when there was pure hope - everything seemed (and was) possible. Use Ammonite to meditate on this very thought and lift yourself out of reach of the day to day. Ammonites are a reminder for f the ever changing and evolving landscape of life, the spiral is the most basic component to all life - the DNA helix and represents transformation. Meditate on the upward spiraling movement of Ammonite to open yourself to the next phase of your growth and development as a spiritual being.
