Stromatolite Rough Piece in Display Box

Stromatolites are fossilised structures formed in shallow water by the alternating layers of blue-green algae (especially the variety known as cyanobacteria) and sedimentary grains. Stromatolites are the most ancient record of organic life on Earth, dating back to some 3.5 billion years. They grew in vast colonies and were responsible for providing our planet with Oxygen via photosynthesis, the absorption of Carbon Dioxide and the release of Oxygen. By way of comparison, the first dinosaurs can be traced back to about 230 million years ago. Stromatolites were growing on Earth for 3.25 billion years before the dinosaurs even arrived.

Stromatolite is said to benefit all fluid movement in the body, e.g. blood, water, lymph etc and is also thought to be beneficial for the throat, teeth, thymus and for treating disorders of both the hands and feet and disorders of the skeletal system.
