THIS ITEM IS ALREADY DISPENSED...THIS IS AN AMMONITE FOSSIL...
(circa 400 million years ago)

Ammonites are an extinct group of marine animals of the subclass Ammonoidea in the class Cephalopoda, phylum Mollusca. They are excellent index fossils, and it is often possible to link the rock layer in which they are found to specific geological time periods.

Ammonites' closest living relative is probably not the modern Nautilus (which they outwardly resemble), but rather the subclass Coleoidea (octopus, squid, and cuttlefish).

Their fossil shells usually take the form of planispirals, although there were some helically-spiraled and non-spiraled forms (known as "heteromorphs"). Their name came from their spiral shape as their fossilized shells somewhat resemble tightly-coiled rams' horns. Pliny the Elder (d. 79 A.D. near Pompeii) called fossils of these animals ammonis cornua ("horns of Ammon") because the Egyptian god Ammon (Amun) was typically depicted wearing ram's horns.Often the name of an ammonite genus ends in -ceras, which is Greek (κέρας) for "horn" (for instance, Pleuroceras).

THIS PARTICULAR ITEM HAS BEEN BURNED BEFORE BY A RELATIVE TOGETHER WITH MANY BOOKS AND ITEMS... MIRACULOUSLY, IT REMAINED INTACT...

FOSSILS OF SUCH CALIBER HAS INNATE MAGNETIC VIBRATIONS THAT IS SAID TO INCREASE THE MAGNETIC ENERGY OF THE PERSON WIELDING IT...

In medieval Europe, fossilised ammonites were thought to be petrified snakes, and were called "snakestones" or, more commonly in medieval England, "serpentstones". They were taken to be evidence for the actions of saints such as St Hilda and St Patrick. Traders would occasionally carve the face of a snake into the empty, wide end of the ammonite fossil and sell them to the public. Ammonites from the Gandaki river in Nepal are known as saligrams, and are believed by Hindus to be a concrete manifestation of God or Vishnu.

THIS IS THE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS ITEM.....

THE CORRECT WAY OF HANDLING THIS ITEM IS THAT YOU RECOGNIZE FIRST AND FOREMOST THAT GOD IS THE ONE WHO CREATED THESE THINGS AND WHATEVER VIRTUE THEY MAY HAVE, IT IS BECAUSE GOD CREATED THEM TO BE SO...

THEREFORE ALL GLORY AND PRAISE SHOULD BE UNTO GOD AND NOT UNTO ANYTHING ELSE...

IF AN OBJECT MANIFEST A CERTAIN VIRTUE, RECOGNIZE THE GOD WHO CREATED THESE THINGS TO BE SO....

HAVE A BLESSED DAY EVERYONE WHO PRAISES AND SEARCH FOR GOD. AMEN.
