Orthoceras Fossil

- natural, flat back cabochon 

The orthoceras fossil is the fossilized remains of an extinct marine cephalopod that lived over 400 million years ago. The name "orthoceras" means "straight horn". 

They are seen as a symbol of the constant evolution of life, representing cycles of growth, wisdom, and transformation. They were believed by some ancient cultures to contain the life force of the ocean and symbolize longevity. 

The fossils are known for their grounding energy, providing stability and a connection to ancient knowledge. They are also thought to assist in moving from old to new, which can be helpful during times of transition.
