CAUTION: MAY CONTAIN SULFUR THAT COULD LEACH INTO WATER. Not recommended for elixirs.
Metaphysical Properties: Ammonites, as all fossils, may open a path to ancient earth and perhaps the wisdom of the ancients. Pyrite is said to have a strong "male" energy. It can be used to increase willpower. It can help overcome challenging situations or with perseverance.
