Turritella Agate - Something A Bit Different

I recently made a pair of earrings using Turritella Agate nuggets and Sterling Silver wire. It's a really unusual stone (in my opinion!) and completely different to any other beads I've used in my jewellery.
I Googled it and found out that it contains the silicified fossils of the Elimia Tenera snail and is commonly found in metamorphic rock.

It's properties include reducing fatigue and strengthening eyesight, eliminating negativity, awakening inherent talents and attracting prosperity ~ sounds like the perfect stone!

I bought my Turritella nuggets from Lima Beads.
