Linda Talbott says:This is gorgeous. I love the Turritella Fossil Agate. And the way the sterling silver spirals pick up on the silver tones in the agate is beautiful.

Little Round Chick says:The Turritella Agate is such an unusual stone. I’ve never worked with it but I just might have to cause it is totally unique.
BTW, love the pendant and the way you finished it.
