Orthoceras Fossil Heart Bead - Top Drilled

This heart is cut from dark stone holding orthoceras fossils, ancient sea creatures with long, straight shells. Each heart measures about 1.25 by 1.375 inches to 1.75 by 1.825 inches and is drilled at the top.

String it on a cord or chain as a pendant, use it in earrings or a keychain, or give it to a fossil lover. It is an unusual way to wear a piece of the ancient seas.

The fossils date back more than 400 million years. Wipe the heart with a soft cloth and keep it away from harsh cleaners. Each heart varies in size and in the number and pattern of fossils.

About Orthoceras

Orthoceras, whose name means straight horn, was an extinct nautiloid cephalopod with a long, straight shell. Nautiloids are an ancient lineage related to the modern nautilus. Many decorative Moroccan fossils sold as orthoceras are closely related straight-shelled orthoceratoids, polished to show the shells in dark stone.
