Ammonite is the fossilized shell of ancient sea amminoids and nautiloids, ancestors of the present-day pearly nautilus. An ammonite fossil formed when the ammonite shell absorbed minerals from silt. Centuries of sediment layers compressed the minerals to rock.
Carnelian is a translucent red or orange variety of chalcedony, sometimes banded red and orange like an agate. Once believed to benefit the wearer's health and love life. Most carnelian comes from Brazil, India, Siberia, and Germany.
