Turritella Agate is actually a fossil from Wyoming, made up of fossilised freshwater snails called Elimia tenera from around 50 million years ago. When it was originally discovered it was thought to be made from the marine snail family Turritella, but the name had stuck before the mistake was realised.

Turritella Agate has a very strong connection to the Earth, which brings about feelings of strength and protection. It can help individuals connect with their ancestry and past, which can provide a sense of grounding and stability. Turritella Agate is believed to have cleansing and revitalising properties, and is often used to promote fertility.
