The Paleozoic marine pearl snail fossils from the Precambrian to the Devonian period have finally reached crystallization and silicification after hundreds of millions of years of extremely long time and harsh and complex changes in the natural and geographical environment, and are non-renewable natural heritage. Snailing is the result of the exchange of minerals during the silication process, and the hardness can reach 6.5-7.5. Some snails are clearly visible in the body of the agate; some snails are full of crystals, shining in the sun, crystal clear; some snails appear as opals, some are white and transparent, and some have colorful colors (red, yellow, blue, green, purple, black).
The gemological community generally believes that those naturally formed, have a certain hardness, have a beautiful, durable, rare and technological value of the mineral aggregate is the gemstone. The probability of ancient organisms forming fossils is extremely low, the probability of forming jade is even more minimal, and the snail jade with four major elements of natural, rare, hard and beautiful is really rare, with high collection value and investment value.
Snail jade is a Paleozoic marine pearl snail fossil and then silicified, is a non-renewable natural heritage, coupled with the extremely harsh conditions for formation, so it is extremely rare. The gemological community generally believes that those naturally formed, have a certain hardness, have a beautiful, durable, rare and technological value of the mineral aggregate is the gemstone. The probability of ancient organisms forming fossils is extremely low, and the probability of forming jade is even more minimal, just like the snail jade with the four elements of natural, rare, hard and beautiful is really rare. The hardness of spiral jade can reach 6.5-7.5. Academia classifies it as a natural organic gemstone. Therefore, it has a high collection value and investment value.
Interesting "snail culture"
In the early days of mankind, the snail was exchanged as a coin for goods, and the snail was a common mascot respected and common in ancient folk and Buddhism, and it also contained a rich "snail culture". Because in the universe, the spiral has always been recognized by human beings as a cosmic symbol, symbolizing auspiciousness and harmony, and is the cosmic code of celestial nature, including the ancient Taiji diagram also comes from the idea of the cosmic spiral.
Even the hair of Buddha Shakyamuni was designed as an unchangeable curly spiral, representing the supreme wisdom and power of Buddha Shakyamuni. The swastika in Buddhism is also related to the snail, which is listed in the Buddhist "Eight Treasures of Auspiciousness", which means auspiciousness and peace. Therefore, owning a piece of spiral jade is a billion-year-old mascot with a lot of spiral signals.
