SCIENCE
Ammonites are ocean dwelling molluscs - cephalopods that lived during the periods of Earth history known at the Jurassic and Cretaceous. Together, these represent a time interval of about 140 million years.
The Jurassic Period began about 201 million years ago, and the Cretaceous ended about 66 million years ago. The Ammonites became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous Period, at roughly the same time as the dinosaurs disappeared.
Their chambered shell used for buoyancy and it's speculated that they had tentacles similar to that of a squid.
These creatures have been preserved as fossils in various locations around the world and have been found in sizes from 5mm to over 1m in size.
Their shells may display iridescence (Ammolite), dendrites and chambers can be filled with Calcite, Pyrite and Quartz.
CRYSTAL CARE
Although crystals have survived hundreds of thousands to millions of years (wow) in our earth they are still delicate and must be treated with TLC.

OUR ETHICS
Yes, our crystals are ethically sourced & sold.

Ethical mining/sourcing refers to the conditions in which a crystal is unearthed and the people and/or businesses that do it. Whilst a mineral may be sourced ethically from the earth, many stones are sent to factories in other countries for cutting and polishing into spheres and generators.
The label of ethics also applies to the selling and consumer purchasing.
Crystals must be correctly identified, certified as natural with any treatments disclosed. Too often crystals are lab grown or treated in a lab and sold as natural. This is incredibly important to us (and our in-house gemmologist) so each piece is tested and certified and accompanied by and authenticity card.
We pride ourselves on our crystal ethics, from earth to home.
