Ammonite is known as "snake stones" in Whitby, England, where there was an abundance of these fossils. Local legend attributed these objects to St. Hilda, who supposedly rid the abbey of snakes by casting a spell on them to behead them, causing them to curl up into spirals and turn to stone. Ammonite fossils sold whole may be polished or unpolished. Fossils cut in half are normally polished on the cut side. The inner sections of the cut shells are often filled with different minerals and sometimes have druze pockets.Many ammonite fossils are a chalky white color on the outer surfaces, however, some have extremely intricate and beautiful suture patterns. Some have iridescent nacre on the exterior, usually in white, red, or green colors - these are sometimes sold as having ammolite on them, but once you have seen gem ammolite - well, it is just not the same thing.
People that believe in the metaphysical aspects of stones ascribe many properties to ammonite. It is considered to be a protective stone that gives stability and structure to a person
