Sourced from the Bearpaw Formation of Southern Alberta

Approximately 2x2.5"

Half fossil, half gemstone, ammolite is a true wonder of the natural world. Not only are the exact soil, pressure, temperature, and mineral composition needed, but an extinct marine mollusk that lived around 70 to 75 million years ago is also required. What we are getting at here is that these stunning pieces need all of the stars to align in order to be formed. That alone is impressive—but the result of this lightning in a bottle is absolutely breathtaking. From this exact composition, ammolite is formed.

Primarily composed of aragonite—the same mineral found in nacre, a biomineral on the inner shell layer of some mollusks like oysters and abalone—ammolite is known for its brilliant play of colors, which can include vibrant reds, greens, blues, and purples. From different angles, an array of gleaming gemstones plays across its surface. We’d be lying if we said we hadn’t spent a good amount of time gazing into these specimens from different angles and lighting. It’s almost as if the surface is constantly morphing and shifting into a unique configuration of colors and hues every time we look at them.

Ammolite is also quite rare and is mainly found in the Bearpaw Formation of Southern Alberta, where these were sourced. Due to its limited geographic source and unique beauty, it’s considered one of the world’s rarest gemstones.

According to metaphysical beliefs, ammolite is thought to be a powerful stone that promotes transformation, balance, and prosperity. Used in Feng Shui, it's said to enhance the flow of chi and align all seven chakras due to its vibrant colors. Spiritually, it is associated with grounding, protection, intuition, and ancient wisdom, making it popular for meditation, healing, and energy work.
