Ammonite Fossils: Deep Oceanic history and Intriguing Geometry
Ammonites are sea creatures that went extinct over 60 million years ago; their closest living relative is the nautilus. A thin layer of opalescent material oftern forms on the outside of the fossils. The segments that forms the spiraling pattern are chambers that were filled or emptied with water to allow the creature to control its buoyancy.
The beautiful chambers also have proportions that fit the Fibonacci sequence, which is a list of numbers where every number is the sum of the previous two, creating a spiral. The Fibonacci sequence is considered an example of "sacred geometry". The sequence can also be found many other places in nature (such as the proportions of pinecones and sunflowers).
Ammonite fossils are generally sliced and polished to reveal their chambers. Many jewelry sets in the new collection are made using pairs of sliced ammonites, for you to share with the other half of your heart. A pair of ammonite necklaces are perfect for mother and daughters, mermaid loving sisters, or sea-enchanted couples.

Agatized Fossil Coral: Ancient Coral, Naturally Preserved
The beautiful pieces of fossil coral used in this collection are natural gemstones formed from ancient coral. Pre-historic coral was flooded under the perfect conditions, resulting in beautiful preservations of ancient marine life.
The proper term for the stone is "agatized fossil coral", because the cells of coral were gradually replaced by the gemstone agate. When the ancient coral was flooded with mineral rich water, the mineral silica (SiO2) replaced the cells of the coral.
Corals are marine animals who generally live in warm, shallow, tropical seas, (such as the Great Barrier Reef). They may be solitary or form large colonies. Fossil corals can be up to 450 million years old, and it is their skeleton that is fossilized with agate. The structure of the skeleton results in intricate geometric flower shaped patterns throughout the gemstone.
