Hamon – Ammonite History

Ammonite Shell Pattern

A gold stone shaped like a horn that provides the owner amazing, divine visions.  If you are in a quiet state of mind and body, the stone provides you with sight into the intricacies & secrets of the divine.

The stone has gone through a fair few names. Many of which are derived from Pliny the Elder’s original writing on “Hammonis” or “Hammonis cornu.”

Today, we know that this stone is actually ammonite, a fossilized shell. According to Pliny, it would make dreams come true. It isn’t surprising that the stone’s name has been shortened to just “hamon,” even though it is actually ammonite.
