ammolite

Ammolite is a gemstone made from fossilized ammonite shells. Ammonites are ancient marine organisms, and ammolites are fossils that formed through geological processes. Main production areas are Alberta, Canada and Wyoming, USA.

Ammolite has very vivid and beautiful colors, showing a wide range of shades such as iridescent, green, blue and purple. This is because fossilized seashells are made up of microscopic layers of minerals that produce their color by reflecting and refraction of light. This unique color makes ammolite a popular gemstone.

Ammolite is extremely rare and attractive for its beautiful color and unique patterns. Cut ammolite is sometimes used in jewelry such as rings, pendants, and earrings. Large ammolite fragments and complete fossil shells are also highly prized collectors' items.

Ammolite is said to symbolize the ancient history of life and is believed to have its spiritual connotations and stone energies.
