PHYSICAL: Turritella Agate is an unusual material, with a unique backstory. At the time it was discovered, it was thought that this material contained Turritella fossils--as it turned out later, the spirals seen here are Elimia (freshwater snail shells). By that time the name had stuck, and it continues to be called that. Turritella agate is found in Wyoming's Green River formation, which is a locality containing fossil beds with an amazing variety of fossilized life.

METAPHYSICAL/CULTURAL: Fossils are associated with seeing the bigger picture, inner growth and personal work.
