Physical Information
Turritella Agate is a unique fossilized agate found mainly in Wyoming, USA.
Unlike most agates, it contains the preserved spiral shells of ancient freshwater snails from the Eocene period (around 50 million years old).
These fossils became embedded in silica-rich sediments, and over time, agate replaced the organic material while preserving the intricate shell patterns.
Turritella Agate typically appears in deep brown, black, or earthy tones with striking cream or white fossil spirals.
It is a durable stone (Mohs 6.5–7), valued by collectors for both its geological significance and its natural beauty.
Metaphysical Properties
Turritella Agate is associated with ancestral connection, grounding, and deep emotional stability.
Because it contains ancient fossil energy, it is often used for healing past-life patterns, strengthening roots, and connecting with family or ancestral lineage.
Many use it for protection, resilience, and supporting personal transformation.
It is also believed to enhance patience, endurance, and a sense of belonging, grounding the wearer during times of change or uncertainty.
