Fossilized Sand Dollar Trade Beads
Description
These beads are made from fossilized sand dollars, marine creatures that once lived in prehistoric seas. Over vast spans of time, their delicate forms were transformed into stone, preserving the radiating patterns that symbolize endurance and transformation.
Each bead has its own natural variations in tone, from creamy beige to rich gray, making every strand distinctive. In many traditions, the sand dollar is a symbol of peace, hope, and rebirth, adding spiritual depth to their beauty.
Whether worn as jewelry, used in design, or collected as a piece of natural history, fossilized sand dollar beads provide a timeless connection to the ocean and the ancient past.
