Bryozoan fossils

Made up of the fossilized skeletons of freshwater invertebrates, the Bryozoan fossil is a symbol of Mother Earth's ancestral wisdom. This stone takes you back to your personal history and roots, and on another scale, to the legend of your ancestors and the origins of life on our planet.

It's invaluable in times of existential doubt: when you're wondering about your place on this earth, or struggling to find a purpose or meaning in life, when you're wondering why you're here and what to do about it.

Associated with the first chakra, the root chakra, and the element Earth, Fossil Bryozoary is an anchoring stone. With its help, we can regain harmony between body and spirit. This stability will come from strengthening our roots.

By reconnecting to an ancestral memory, we discover the links of analogy; the memory of Mother Earth feeds our creativity, giving wings to our creative potential to reinterpret and inspire what surrounds us.

By virtue of its link between the living and the dead and its communication with the spirits, legends with ancestral origins confer on it the power to reveal well-kept secrets, while attracting good luck and warding off evil energies.

Mineralogy

Bryozoans are made of calcium carbonate, Calcite or Aragonite, depending on their origin - Aragonite skeletons being the most relatively recent, from -145 to -66 million years ago. This change is thought to have taken place as a result of changes in seawater chemistry. They are partly the source of coral reefs and other limestone formations.
