Pendant, Necklace with Thunderbolt with Gold-Colored Wire and Amber, Fossil Belemnite 9,

A small piece of geological history - approx. 170 million years to 66 million years old - collected by me myself on Rügen on the steep coast / Baltic Sea coast and Fossil of the Month September 2022! The ancient Germanic tribes and Vikings also integrated thunderbolts into their jewelry. So why not wear a piece of geological history, beautifully prepared, around your neck?

I have wrapped my thunderbolt tips with gold-colored wire and decorated them with real ambers. The pendants are provided with a leather strap that can be adjusted in length and sliding knots. The thunderbolt is about 4.5 cm in size.

Belemnites are also called "thunderbolts" or "devil's fingers" and are parts of prehistoric squid. Thunderbolts are fossilized parts of the shell of an extinct cephalopod, i.e. a real fossil and are said to have great healing and protective effects, and are also considered lucky charms that you wear on chains around your neck or when you carry them in your pocket. The belief that a thunderbolt is supposed to protect its wearer from lumbago is particularly popular. So far I haven't had lumbago – maybe it's true!
