Definition Ammolite:What is Ammolite?Ammolite is a rare and valuable opal-like organic gemstonefound primarily along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains of the United States and Canada. It is arguably the rarestgemstone on earth. It is made of the fossilized shells of Ammonite, which inturn are composed primarily of aragonite, the same mineral that makes upnacreous pearls. Ammonite lived over 70 million years ago and was a hardshelled squid-like marine animal that existed from the Paleozoic to the endof the Cretaceous era when they suddenly became extinct. They were abundantin all the oceans.Ammonite is found all over the world but only in Alberta can they be found with thisgemstone that covers their shells. It is because of the soil content that theshells change color. Ammonites are found with the colors red, orange, purple,blue, and green; blue and purple being the rarest of all. The name Ammonite is derived from the Greek name of the ancient Egyptianoracle god Ammon who considered them to be divine and is represented by thehead of a ram with twisted spiral horns that are reminiscent of Ammonitestwisted shells. The Roman historian Pliny the Elder regarded Ammonite as theholiest stone because it was said to evoke prophetic dreams. Ammolite is one of several biogenic gemstones; others includeamber and pearl. In 1981, Ammolite was given official gemstone status by theWorld Jewelry Confederation, the same year commercial mining of Ammolitebegan. It was designated the official gemstone of the Province of Albertain 2004.Remarks:Don’t miss thisopportunity to own this beautiful & extremely rare gemstone from Alberta / Canada,Back To TopOur photographs have been enlarged to show details.
