Gemstone Information :

Nummulite Oceanic Fossil Stone is a form of Limestone that contains Nummulites - a long extinct species of lens-shaped, single celled marine organisms that were abundant during the Paleogene and Neogene periods (65.5 million to 2.6 million years ago) and the Eocene Epoch (55.8 million to 33.9 million years ago). During these periods most of northern Africa, including Egypt was covered by the now named Tethys Ocean. Nummulites lived and thrived on the bottom of the shallow areas of this ocean. Then over millions of years their shells piled up, thereby creating the rocks that were quarried by the Egyptians to build the great pyramids and the ancient Egyptians also used Nummulite shells as coins.
