Velocivolt Rock/Electric Reconstructed from a bird fossil found in Galar, Velocivolt is a small flightless bird pokemon. While it lacks the electric abilities of its older form, Nykazolt, Velocivolt is a pokemon capable of incredible speed and agility, presumably to keep it safe from predators.

Nykazolt Rock/Electric The evolved form of Velocivolt, its feathers are charged with incredible electric power, and it often shakes them loose as a form of attack, though it will also slice apart foes with its deadly electric arm blades. These blades can also be used to glide an impressive distance with a running start.

Some extra information: - It is thought that this fossil pokemon once lived in rocky and mountainous terrain due to their claws built to dig and grip onto sheer mountain surfaces. - The pads of the pokemon's feet are almost rubbery, and thought to act as a grounding mechanism for large electric attacks. - They're carnivores- presumably feeding on smaller mammalian pokemon and pokemon eggs.

This beautiful fossil is that of an ancient Calymene Trilobite. It's a beautifully preserved piece. Trilobites were very successful during their time on the planet, making these interesting fossils relatively common. Trilobites, though now long exctinct, were marine arthropods (think spiders/crustaceans) that existed millions of years ago. The dates they occupied the earth range between 500 million years ago (the Cambrian period) up until 250 million years ago where they were wiped out along with most everything else during the mass extinction. There are many different species and variations, and these interesting fossils are found in many different locations around the globe. This particular little soul was ethically sourced from Morocco. It’s currently available here.

Coelevish Rock/Water Reconstructed from a fish fossil found in Galar, Coelevish are the unevolved counterpart to the much larger Dunklevish. Coelevish feed on small crustacean pokemon and have a generally mellow demeanor, they have hard armor on their face and aren't bothered by many other aquatic pokemon species. Dunklevish Rock/Water An incredibly large fossilized fish pokemon- Dunklevish- despite its dopey appearance is an incredible predator of the deeper seas. It will eat just about anything that can fit in its mouth, and is a very fast swimmer. Hard armor on its face and sides also protects it from most attacks. Some other facts: - This pokemon has an incredible bite force despite its appearance! - It also has the habit of spitting up its preys bones after consuming it.

Check out this old soul. This lil buddy has about 450 million years on us. It’s in such great shape for how old of a fossil it is! It’s a Trilobite, specifically the Calymene species. When it was alive, it was a marine arthropod hanging out in the world’s oceans during the end of the Paleozoic period.

Back during their height, these little dudes were everywhere. They have been found with drilled holes from ancient cultures that suggest they were collected and worn as jewelry. They’ve also been found in some pretty old sites (around 50K years!) with other aspects of human settlement indicating they were collected way back then as well!

A little about its energetic feel.... Fossils in general are usually some of the best crystals you can work with to help facilitate and walk you through big changes. They are very valuable at helping one see the larger picture when it comes to personal growth, and helping you gracefully react to change.

Trilobites especially have been touted as good fossils to have around for those in positions of leadership. It once again helps with the big picture, and lends large amounts of patience and understanding to a work environment.

I also find fossils to be very grounding and calming.. Something about their age seems to give them a feeling of a wise old soul sitting next to you reminding you to keep trucking through life. Fossils definitely help teach you about yourself! And our planet! And how small and short a blip we are in the wide cosmos of things!

This particular lil one waits for its new home in my Etsy. I usually have lots of fossils in stock, they are such valuable healers!
