Prefinished rough slabs: My slabs have all or most of the pits and fractures removed and all sides smoothed with 180 diamond grit. This produces a better looking slab and makes it easier for you to produce multiple cabs and/or a finished specimen.

Despite its name, “Turritella agate” is not made of fossil snails of the genus Turritella but that name has persisted for a long time so that is what we use. The snails are actually properly referred to as Elimia tenera, in the family Pleuroceridae.

Elimia agate comes from the Green River Formation in Southwestern Wyoming, Northeastern Utah, and Northwestern Colorado, found in layers deposited in a series of ancient lakes, in the early and middle parts of the Eocene Epoch, between 42 to 53 million years ago.

Approx size : 60 x 48 x 12 mm, 86.3 g and 16 x 30 x 5 mm, 24 ct.

An 18 mm dime and 10 mm background squares in some pictures should help you with image sizing.
