Dangling, Natural, Black Orthoceras, 925 Sterling Silver pendant. The stone fossil is 20.88cts and weights 8.03 grams. They are 1 5/8 long. The Orthoceras is a genus of extinct nautiloid cephalopod. Its name is derived from the words “straight horn”, referring to it’s long, conical shell. These creatures roamed the seas during the Ordovician Period (485 million - 443 million years ago). In meditation, it connects to ancient earth. In healing, fossils may be helpful in assisting with aliments of the bones, skeletal system, hands and feet. Please see my listing for a matching ring and pendant to go with these earrings. I hand picked all three items to be a matched set.
