A symbol of life, internal harmony, and the perfection of nature, the Nautilus Shell evokes a sense of mystery and awe. Its spiral structure displays perfect mathematical proportion (in direct relationship to the Golden Section and Fibonacci Sequence), and appears throughout nature in myriad forms such as spiral galaxies, the cochlea of the human ear, and in the arrangement of petals and leaves among plants and herbs.

In a state of equilibrium with its environment, this nocturnal being spends most of its time at great oceanic depths, responding to both lunar and solar cycles. The Nautilus Shell, lined with mother-of-pearl and in a relatively unchanged form for 450 million years, grows into increasingly larger chambers throughout its life cycle symbolizing protection, expansion, and renewal.

The Nautilus Shell inspires us toward increased awareness of the innate healing potential pervading all life, and to embrace concepts of balance, health, and well-being in the world in which we live.
