* This is a unique fossilized gastropoda replaced with chalcedony and encrusted with
natural and organic druzy crystals.
* The shells are originally from a rare left-hand coil variety of gastropod that lived
between 50 to 100 million years ago, when the Indian subcontinent was submerged
under the ocean.
* Discovered in Madhya Pradesh in central India. Experts carefully removed them one by
one - by hand from the host rock.
* These shells were called Dakshinavarti in ancient Sanskrit.
* The Hindu, Buddhist, and Tibetan cultures spent much time seeking out these hugely
special left-hand coil gastropods for their metaphysical powers.
* These were in a special feature from the GIA on the Tuscon gem show 2014.
* Also known as Spiralite Gemshells (TM) this describes two of their main characteristics;
firstly their formation through the petrification of ancient spiral form sea shells and
secondly their new incarnation as high quality Agate and Druzy crystals.
