“Marston marble” is not actually a marble at all, but a conglomeration of tiny, rare ammonites (promicroceras martonensis and ziphoceras ammonites) from the Jurassic Period, approximately 200 million years old.

The white ammonite shells are largely intact, with brown calcite as a replacement mineral within the shells, all held together within a natural mudstone concretion.

This fascinating material was previously used to make grave markers in the local churchyard, but the location of the find was lost for many years, making it a holy grail to fossil hunters and collectors.

The stone, which was discovered over two hundred years ago and can be seen in the Natural History Museum in London. Approximately 200 million years old.

This can be used to facilitate a deep state of meditation and strong connection with the Earth, or if placed under the pillow, induce deep and undisturbed sleep. Also used in journey meditation. The spiral shape of the ammonite shell is symbolic of the cycles of life, including life, death and rebirth, moon phases and the seasons, and also of resurrection in the Christian religion.
