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 shapely specimen makes for an inexpensive large piece to add to your mineral collection or use as decor around the home. I call this one the "Badonkadonk" because when flipped over, it appears as two pert semi-perfect spheres.

UV reactivity Many pseudo-stromatolites from Morocco have faint to moderate fluorescence and phosphorescence under 365 nm UV light. Some areas show brief phosphorescence, but overall reaction is poor.

Pretty Colors to Encourage Me to Walk!
Size: X-Large, Color: (601) Bittersweet Pink / Stone / Stone
Hum. Extra large does not seem extra large. I have a slender but size 10-10.5 foot. Will keep but was hoping for a looser fit. Bought to match an Under Armour walking outfit.

Nice.

These were great quality and perfect fit. They held up. Under Armour seems to make the better quality socks than others.

Perfect Fit and Versatile for All-Day Wear
Size: Small, Color: White/Cerise Assorted
I absolutely love these socks! Though they're technically kid-sized, they fit my size 5-6 women's feet perfectly and are incredibly versatile. I wear them for workouts, casual outfits, and pretty much all the time. They’re reliable, well-fitting, and comfortable throughout the day. The quality is excellent, and they hold up well even with frequent use. If you’re looking for socks that combine great fit with durability and style, these are definitely a top pick!

Love these little socks. Soft and stay in place, no falling down in my shoe. I will definitely be buying more. Holding up well after multiple washings.
