This well-defined fossilized bug from the Green River Formation in Utah/Colorado/Wyoming is a perfect specimen for any crystal collection. Colors, size and shape will vary. The Green River Formation is an Eocene geologic formation that records the sedimentation in a group of intermountain lakes in three basins along the present-day Green River in Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah. The sediments are deposited in very fine layers, a dark layer during the growing season and a light-hue inorganic layer in the dry season. Each pair of layers is called a varve and represents one year. The sediments of the Green River Formation present a continuous record of six million years. Revered by many cultures for centuries, Fossils, because of their age, are often utilized as talismans for protection and long life. They are links to the past and, as such, can be helpful for past-life visualization, astral travel and increased knowledge of ancient ways. Fossils are a great grounding stone, connecting the user to the Divine Feminine energy of the Earth.
