Fossil Orthoceras
Orthoceras are prehistoric cephlopods related to the modern day squid, cuttlefish, and octopus. They are found in the Sahara Desert, Morocco.
Cephalopods are characterized by a distinct head in close association with a foot that has been modified into tentacles.  They also have an internal or external shell that is divided into chambers.  They are a straight shelled mollusk squid like animal, with this type being a Geisenoceras, which developed 350 to 500 million years ago. Fossils have been revered in the magical practices of many lands, and legends explain their origins.  Fossil stones have been found in the mounds of many burial sites, and thought to have eased the rite of passage.  They are a symbol of long life, since they contain the life force, which is released in healing in a gentle but potent way.  Fossils will help to bring tradition and character to a newly built house or apartment, or one in a soulless area.  They help to increase domestic harmony and an organized home. To recharge fossils energy, place in an ancient place, best of all within the sound of the sea or running water.
