🌀History and Symbolism of the Ammonite 🐌

Ammonites were ancient marine mollusks that inhabited the Earth's oceans for over 300 million years.

They shared the planet with dinosaurs for much of the Mesozoic Era and disappeared with them during the great extinction about 66 million years ago.

For this reason, every ammonite is a natural relic imbued with the history of the planet.

Due to its extraordinary antiquity and its characteristic spiral shape, the ammonite symbolizes evolution, transformation, and the continuous cycle of life.

Its survival for hundreds of millions of years and its coexistence with dinosaurs have made it a symbol of resilience, adaptation, and connection with the deep history of our planet.
