Quartz var. Agate pseudomorph after Snail (Valvata scabrida)

Morrison Formation, Mesa Co., Colorado

3.18cm x 2.41cm x 2.38cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

A rare and unusual example of agate that has replaced fossil snails from Colorado!!! This specimen consists of a quartz matrix that hosts numerous pseudomorphs of agate after Jurassic-era snails (Valvata scabrida)!!! The agate has a wonderful multi-hued color that exhibits rich pink and pinkish purple colors!!! Upon close inspection, one can even see striations on the snails' shells!!! The largest snail measures over 1.4cm!!! The agate has a fantastic, almost glowing translucence that is quite striking in person!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! A unique and rare pseudomorph indeed!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!!
