Iridescent Drusy retailer Quartz-lined Fossil Gastropod Shell, India. Mineral Specimen for Sale

A beautiful fossilized Gastropod shell lined with iridescent drusy Quartz from India. Sliced on bottom and back to display perfectly. What makes this retailer unusual is that it is 'left handed', coiling to the left, which is a rarity in the world of shells. It is estimated to be over 100 million years old. Historically left-hand coiling shells have been associated with great metaphysical powers in the Hindu / Buddhist and Tibetan cultures. In ancient Sanskrit these shells were associated with Vishnu, the Preserver from the Holy trinity of Hinduism.
