Interesting Facts
Fossilized clams with calcite crystal formations are formed through a slow process of mineral replacement, where calcium carbonate deposits crystallize within the shell’s cavity over millions of years.
Florida is renowned for its fossilized marine specimens due to its prehistoric shallow sea environment, which created perfect conditions for fossilization.
Calcite is known for its optical properties, vibrant coloration, and energetic qualities, often associated with cleansing and amplification in metaphysical traditions.
