Disclaimer: Gemstone and fossil identification is based on visual assessment only, considering colour, pattern, structure, and other observable characteristics. Fossils have not been laboratory tested unless explicitly stated. Whilst every effort has been made to identify each specimen accurately, identification should be considered our best professional opinion rather than a certified paleontological determination. Metaphysical properties are based on traditional beliefs and are not scientifically proven.
