About Turritella Agate
Turritella Agate is a variety of Chalcedony, a mineral of the Quartz family. Turritella Agate is the popular name used for a brown, translucent, fossiliferous agate found in the Green River Formation of Wyoming. It is very easy to recognize because it contains large fossil snails that stand out in a white-to-tan colour that contrasts with the brownish agate. For at least the past fifty years, Turritella agate has been prized as a unique and beautiful gem material. When it is completely silicified, it can be sawn into slabs that are polished and used for bookends, desk sets, clock faces, and other lapidary craft items.
