During agatization, the organic material of the gastropod is replaced with silica, often in the form of chalcedony or agate, a form of microcrystalline quartz. This process preserves the detailed structure of the original organism while transforming it into a hard, durable mineral. The agatization process can preserve intricate details of the gastropod's shell, including its spiral structure, surface textures, and internal features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApproximate Size of 1 piece\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: 2.75cm x 1cm x 1cm\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApproximate Weight of 1 piece\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1pc\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe do our best to buy quality products- although not every rock is the same.
