Fossilized Shrimp in limestone with Goethite found in Solnhofen Limestone, Germany. Measures about 5" x 6" x 0.2". Estimated to be 150 million years old. The Solnhofen Limestone or Solnhofen Plattenkalk, formally known as the Altmühltal Formation, is a Jurassic Konservat-Lagerstätte that preserves a rare assemblage of fossilized organisms, including highly detailed imprints of soft bodied organisms such as sea jellies. 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.Each piece is similar, though no item at Crystal Joys is exactly the same as every item is a unique stone that is non-fabricated.
