Ammolite

A Rare Gem from Ancient Seas

Ammolite is one of the rarest and most captivating gemstones on Earth. It’s an organic gem, similar to amber or pearl, formed from the fossilized shells of ancient marine creatures called ammonites — relatives of the modern-day squid and octopus. These creatures swam in prehistoric oceans over 70 million years ago, and when they died, their shells settled into the seabed and eventually fossilized.

What sets ammolite apart is its brilliant iridescence — fiery reds, greens, blues, and purples shimmer across its surface, similar to the colors of a peacock feather or opal. Each stone is completely unique, making it a favorite among collectors, jewelry designers, and anyone drawn to the natural beauty of Earth's ancient past.
