Wonderful pair of turritella heart shaped & Onyx Egg-shaped on custom stands. Fossilized turritella refers to the preserved remains or traces of turritella shells from ancient geological time periods. These fossils are often found in sedimentary rocks and can provide valuable insights into past environments and ecosystems. Turritella is a genus of small sea snails known for their distinctive spiral-shaped shells. These shells are often fossilized and can be found in various parts of the world. The name "turritella" comes from the Latin word "turris," meaning tower, which refers to the tall, slender shape of the shell. Turritella shells are commonly used in jewelry and as decorative items due to their unique appearance. They feature beautiful patterns created by the remains of marine organisms that lived inside them millions of years ago. Onyx is a type of chalcedony, which is itself a form of microcrystalline quartz. Onyxes have straight, nearly parallel bands or layers of color, which allow skilled gem carvers to cut away material to create cameos and intaglios with extraordinary depth and contrast. Onyx typically has a black base with white or colored bands. The colored bands can range from shades of brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
