Description
Fossilized Spiralite Quartz Shells
Mermaids and Mermen to the front! Water signs too...
Stunning fossil-mineral specimens! Did you ever think shells could come with quartz naturally? Well, they do. And here they are. A petite bit of ancient time that sparkles with stories to tell.
What had happened was that during the Cretaceous Period, India was submerged under the prehistoric Tethys Ocean. Within this marine environment lived rare left-hand coiled gastropods that have been rediscovered in the form of fossilized shells.
The shells are composed of chalcedony quartz and are often internally encrusted with druzy quartz. Since these rare fossils are found embedded in hard rock matrix, they are hammered, chiseled and carefully cleaned by hand. Looking at these I can tell great care was had in the process.
Perfect for altars and calling on Mother Ocean. Within the recesses of your mind are the fossils of ancient knowledge that sparkle with wisdom. Sometimes, it can be the smallest thing that has the most profound impact on your life!
Pick your number next to the shell you desire and you will receive the exact specimen shown.
Approximate size range: 1.57–2.32 inches (40–59 mm).
Care
Natural stones and fossils vary in color, size, weight, and inclusions, so your piece will be unique. Dust gently with a soft cloth and keep delicate stones out of harsh, prolonged sunlight.
