Many years ago, the finger of the finger of the superstitious peasants with all over his appearance, many attributed a connection with unclean forces, however, with the development of science, it turned out that this mineral is only the petrified shells of the ancient mollusks of the Mesozoic period. After millions of years, they were covered with multiple rocks, but the cone-shaped form was preserved, which is why the traits finger resembles the claw of the Devil Creature.
What it is?
The second name of the stone is the thunder arrow. This fossil has a rather rich history and has a truly powerful energy. It is fully obliged to Bellemnitis - one of the most ancient clams that lived on Earth about 70 million years ago. It is believed that these creatures were distant ancestors of squid, and widespread seas and oceans everywhere in prehistoric times.
According to the description, Belemnites belong to the group that have completely disappeared cephalovy. They were rather agile predators, reaching a length of 15-25 cm. Outwardly looked like squid, but was distinguished by the presence of a strong inner sink containing the collenged cavity.
It contained a slimy torso of the mollusk together with fluttering long tentacles and suction cups.
Outside the sink was completely covered with protective leathery, and the pointed part of the mollusk - Rostr, visually resembled the tip of arrows. It is these copies that have reached today's times, from the mollusk's body, as well as from the cover, unfortunately, nothing left. B. Elemens extinct about 60 million years ago, their disappearance coincided with the mysterious extinction of dinosaurs - it is possible that they became victims of global cooling and a significant decrease in water temperature.
The dimensions of the whiteness could be the most different, and ranged from a few millimeters to 45 cm. It is known that rare specimens reached even 3 meters in length.
The color gamut of Belemnitis was also a variable - now you can find the damn fingers of rusty-brown, grayish-gray, brown, amber, and even coal shades.
Usually after grinding on them becomes pronounced holographic shine.
Composition of fossils
The main element in the white structure is calcium carbonate. Changated lived in a clean natural environment, where much less toxic elements than these days. In the structure of this clam you can find phosphorus, sodium, nickel, potassium, as well as magnesium, manganese and iron. Some varieties include bromine, copper, cobalt, vanadium, chrome, even silver and gold elements.
It is known that the powder of a damn finger has the ability to almost instantly stop the blood and pull the wounds. This property is explained by the presence of aragonite in the Rostret - substances with exceptional regenerating properties.
So, everyone knows the unique properties of water in the Czech resort of Karlovy Vary. Studies have shown that the healing capacity of the fluid is directly related to the saturation of its aragonite.
Place of Birth
More than 300 species of Belemnites are known to modern science, depending on the natural conditions and the habitat environment, their form and structure changed. So mollusks living in the water bodies had fairly long sophisticated Rostra, and on the coasts it was possible to meet short individuals with wide shells. Since this is a head in prehistoric times lived everywhere, their petrified remains in our days can be found in a variety of corners of the globe.
They are located at the depths of the deposits of Jurassic and chalk periods. The most ambitious finds were discovered on the Australian continent. It should be noted that the fossils found there are high value, and, in addition, are used to create jewelry.
After grinding and polishing, they become similar to opals, so decorations with these stones look very impressive and consistently highly appreciated.
As for Russia, the accumulation of damn fingers can be found in a variety of corners: they can be sought in the suburbs, on the shores of Oka and Volga. As a rule, fossils can be found, just shovel to the depth of half a meter, especially many of them in sandy clay soils.
Properties
If we talk about the physical properties of the stone, you can confidently assert that whiteness has quite low strength, low hardness, so they are easy to damage and scratch, and not only metal, but even ordinary glass. In numbers, the hardness is estimated at 5.5 points on the Moos scale.
However, this parameter is considered approximate, since the mollusk usually formed its sinks from those substances that he found in permanent habitats.
So, on the territory of Australia, stones were found, the fortress of which is estimated at 7 points - in their physical properties they are pretty similar to opal.
The damn fingers are attributed to many healing and mystical properties. Let us dwell on the influence that the stone has per person.

In Scotland, ordinary water insisted on the damn finger. In the Middle Ages, thus treated intestinal disorders and poisoning.
If we talk about scientifically confirmed facts, it should be noted that Belemnites are used to treat a rather wide range of diseases. A 70% mineral consists of calcium, 30% accounts for many other trace elements. Its structures there are no harmful substances, since in the Mesozoic era, they simply were not in water or in the air. That is why supporters of lithotherapy are universally used in their practice Belnynite.

- Inspection of stone . For further processing, it must be integer if there are cracks and chips, it is necessary to simply cut off the damaged part, after which it is necessary to give the necessary cone shape using special grinding nozzles. If the stone has too rough surface, then you will need nozzles for engraver and the like.
- At the second stage, pre-grinding is carried out, Usually, emery is suitable for this with the grain parameters # 360 or # 800 - however, if at the first stage you could achieve a flat surface, then this item can be safely skipped.
- Finish grinding. For this purpose, special engravers running on high speeds, with a felt nozzle, which is pre-applied grinding paste. It is best to use white, since, falling into cracks, it is not as noticeable as, for example, red or green.
If at your disposal there is no engraver machine, then a normal piece of skin is quite conspicuous, for convenience it is stretched into a wooden bar with the back side up, they apply a grinding paste and polish.
