Turritella
Agate is from a silicated sedimentary layer that contains fossil shells of gastropods.
Although this material is called "turritella" agate, the shells are
most likely from the gastropod Goniobasis. Either way, Turritella Agate is a very
cool material that cuts interesting gems. Polishes with tin and cerium oxide or
diamond. Mohs hardness 6.5 to 7.
