A stromatolite is a sedimentary fossil structure made by prehistoric bacteria colonies, typically cyanobacteria. Stromatolites in fact are still living and forming in some parts of our world today, including Australia, and are among the earliest forms of life—and fossils—on our Earth.

The fossils form in shallow water conditions of lakes or salt water shores. First, cyanobacteria grow in microbial mats. Minerals like calcium carbonate precipitate (crystalize from the water) onto the surface of the mat. The bacteria acts as a glue, cementing it all together with sedimentary debris. Layers build up over time like a bacterial pearl; the name “stromatolite” appropriately means “layered rock” in Greek.

This, however, is not a stromatolite. They are commonly believed to be stromatolites, and you will more often than not see them sold under that name and description. More accurately, they are concretions formed out of beautiful tones of red sandstone material. These sandstone concretions form in a manner similar to stromatolites, but minus the aid of bacteria: mineral-rich waters precipitate barite which binds with sand to form concentric layers around a nucleus. It is a relative of the barite desert rose, which grows clusters of round blade-like ‘petals.’

This specimen makes for an inexpensive large piece to add to your mineral collection or use as decor around the home. While pseudo-stromatolites typically have a rounded or conical back, this specimen is wide and flat like a lopsided cake with round nubbins attached to the side.

UV reactivity Many pseudo-stromatolites from Morocco have faint to moderate white fluorescence and light yellow-green phosphorescence under 365 nm UV light. This specimen has good reaction, with phosphorescence apparent.

Does the job but dangerous to walk with!
Does the job but dangerous to walk with: foot is sliding inside the sock if the foot was treated with cream or lotion prior. It is uncomfortable to sleep with but a necessary hurdle to heal your heels!

The really work!
Bought these or a friend with severely dry cracked feet. The change was significant and immediate. They wore them around the house for a day and that night they could already feel the difference.
