Stromatolites are layers of sedimentary rocks held together by bacteria such as cynobacteria, also called blue-green algae. These have lost their colour when fossilised, so the rocks are shades of brown - black.

Stromatolite is believed to aid with emotional healing, making it a popular choice for those seeking to heal from past traumas. As a stone of transformation, it is also thought to facilitate personal growth and change. Some people believe that Stromatolite can help them access information from past lives, giving them insight into their current existence. This crystal is also strongly grounding and can help to connect one with the Earth, promoting a sense of stability and balance.
