Collection: AMMOLITE

Ammolite is an organic stone that mostly consists of aragonite. It was created from the fossilized shells of ammonite, an extinct cephalopod that lived approximately 70 million years ago. This stone’s incredible iridescence is produced by extremely thin layers of aragonite, which bend light and produce a colorful, shifting appearance. 

The best ammolite gemstone comes from the Bearpaw Formation in Alberta, Canada, which is the only site with gem-quality ammolite in the world. There are a few lesser occurrences of ammolite, but Canadian ammolite is the best quality and most valuable.

Due to ammolite's unique combination of beautiful, rare, and energetic qualities, it is ideal for jewelry, collectibles, or metaphysical use.

What is Ammolite?

Ammolite is a rare and unique gemstone made from ammonite fossil shells. It has outstanding rainbow-like iridescence and is one of the very few organic gemstones on the planet. 

Is ammolite a real gemstone or fossil?

Technically, it is both - it is a fossil gemstone because it is made from ammonite fossil shells, which have been mineralized over millions of years and formed the gemstone. 

Can I wear ammolite every day?

Yes, but be fragile when you wear it. This stone is rated as 3.5-4.5 on the Mohs scale, which means it is softer than most gemstones. 

What is the difference between natural ammolite and treated ammolite?

Natural ammolite, just as the name implies, is naturally created and left in its unique, original form, while treated ammolite has been stabilized or layered (doublet/triplet) to enhance durability. Natural stones typically hold a certain value above treated stones.
