Stromatolite Tumbled Stone 20-30mm (250g)

Stromatolites are fossilized layered deposits of algae within ancient sedimentary rock. These old single-celled organisms are believed to be some of the first forms of life on this planet. Some cyanobacteria (algae) in the rock dates back over 3.5 billion years. Stromatolites range in a variety of colours and can contain many impurities within the bedrock (which is usually limestone). The most common colours we’ve encountered are brown, beige, reddish-brown, yellow, white, and grey. Stromatolites can be found all over the world, with an abundance located in Morocco, Australia, Canada, the United States, as well as the northern European and Baltic states.

Upon finding out that a Stromatolite stone is made up of ancient bacteria, you might be inclined to cringe at this fossilized specimen, but there’s much to learn from one of Earth’s first living species. Stromatolite is composed of cyanobacteria. This was one of the prokaryotic species which preceded the eukaryotic bacteria that humanity would eventually evolve from. But...what can you possibly learn from extinct bacteria?! What about how to make a life where there was none!

Through connecting to the earthly energy of one of Earth’s first living organisms, you can embrace the power of forging a new life for yourself. As you feel the energy of the stromatolite meaning fusing with your root chakra, you may come to better understand the basics of life. Being complex organisms, we humans often riddle ourselves with complex issues.

Please Note: Natural gemstone or semi-precious stone comes from mineral. Due to the naturality, the stones may have a tiny flaw. Meanwhile, cutting or polishing also makes every piece of gemstone vary in colour and size. The image may look different (colour) due to many monitor or device resolutions.
