Ammolite in Collector's Box

Both a fossil and a mineral, this rare ammolite specimen is a breathtaking relic of prehistoric life. True ammolite only forms within a small, 15-square-mile region in Alberta, Canada, where immense pressure from six miles of Ice Age glaciation transformed the fossilized shell of an ammonite—an ancient cephalopod—into a gemstone displaying the full spectrum of visible light. Dating back approximately 70–76 million years, this iridescent rainbow specimen is an extraordinary fusion of history and natural beauty. Housed in an elegant informational display box, it is ready for presentation in any fine collection. Explore its radiant brilliance in our gallery.
Interesting Facts
Ammolite is one of the rarest organic gemstones, valued for its vibrant iridescence, which shifts colors depending on the angle of light. This phenomenon is due to the unique aragonite structure within the ammonite fossil, making each specimen one-of-a-kind. Recognized as a rare gemstone in 1981, high-quality ammolite is sought after by collectors and jewelers alike.
