Fossil agate or Turritella agate is one of those ancient stones that pass on its benefits to those around it. It has considerable powers and has symbolized prosperity and abundant money for centuries. This fossil agate is also called shell agate or turritella agate.
The name agate, like all other types of agate, comes from the Achates River in Sicily. It was in fact in this river that the first agates were discovered. The Greeks therefore named them "agate", which means "that which is good".
Then came the fossil agate or turritella agate. Its name comes from shells, snails named turritella. Which is very curious because the formation of this agate took place in old dried-up lakes and the turritella is a gastropod of the oceans. Nowadays, this kind of fossil snail has not been listed with certainty as being a freshwater fossil.
In reality, the first traces of fossil agate are complicated to establish with certainty. We have writings dating from Pliny, a naturalist of Antiquity, seeming to describe fossil agate and those, more recent, from Buffon, a naturalist, French mathematician of the 16th century. Let us underline that this stone has several names (fossil agate, turritella agate, shell agate), which does not make the task easy!
In any case, it is an agate of the quartz family, black/gray in color with brown or white spots and having fragments of encrusted shells. These fossilized shells are taken in silica. The etymology of its name comes from these shells.
One thing is certain: the benefits of this fossil agate stone have been established for centuries. However, due to their large number and different varieties, agates are devalued. However, they have proven to be incredible wellness stones.
Ancient civilizations were well aware of the value of these fossil agates. They were used as a talisman stone, a lucky charm, which brings financial prosperity. This can be explained in very distant times when shells were exchanged for a few pennies.
In ancient times, Turritella Agate was a spiritual crystal, closely linked to the earth and the home. It connects spirits to their ancestry, their personal history and the events of their life. It is considered a stone of survival, strength and protection. It is said that these past elements contained in this stone provide wisdom and prosperity. This would come from the appearance of this agate with its fossilized snail patterns inside.
The main deposits are in the United States.
In Lithotherapy, fossil agate is the symbol of a guardian of the past. It contains vestiges of the past, allowing us to have a certain perspective on our origins and our ancestors. It is an anchoring stone and it allows us to find solutions to problems encountered, whatever their nature.
Turitella agate reduces superiority complexes and removes negative thoughts. It is a stone that helps maintain a certain balance during complicated periods or change.
Its connection with the past, symbolized by the fossils it contains, generates forgiveness and stops resentment. It offers the possibility of removing certain deeply rooted blockages, at the origin of phobias and psychological disorders.
Agate, whatever its nature, promotes self-acceptance and restores confidence. This fossil agate soothes anger, facilitates love and gives the strength to start from scratch.
This type of shell agate is closely connected with the elements of nature. It thus becomes the stone of the traveler, helping to fight against the dangers caused by the earthly elements and maintaining ties with family.
This fossilized crystal provides a very strong bond between mother and child. During ancient times, agate was known as a lucky charm to promote fertility and fecundity.
