Over unimaginably long periods, these microorganisms trapped and solidified sediments layer by layer, creating the characteristic concentric rings. With a Mohs hardness of about 3 to 4, it is among the softer rocks. Stromatolites are among the oldest known records of life on Earth; some finds are estimated to be over 3.5 billion years old.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eHow do I properly care for my stromatolite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eSince stromatolite is a relatively soft, partly porous sedimentary rock, you should not hold it under running water or soak it for extended periods – the fine structure could be damaged. It is best to clean it dry with a soft cloth or brush. For energetic refreshing, smudging or placing it next to a selenite plate is suitable. Avoid direct, prolonged exposure to sunlight so the earthy tones do not fade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eHow do I recognize a genuine stromatolite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eTypical for a genuine stromatolite are the concentric, slightly wavy growth rings formed by the layered growth of the microorganisms. This pattern always looks natural and irregular, never perfectly symmetrical like synthetic replicas. Color and design vary from piece to piece, as each specimen grew individually over millions of years. A pattern that is too uniform or smooth is usually an indication that it is not a genuine fossilized rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eWhy is the size of this specimen so special?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eAt 1.9 kilograms and around 13x11 centimeters, this stromatolite is one of the larger and more impressive finds of its kind.
