I was lucky to get another parcel of high grade ammolite fossil gemstones and this one is quite lovely It has reds yellows and greens and has a lot of flash all over at most light angles. The ammolite is 23 carats in weight and measures 27x23mm comes with a 20 inch 1.3 mm double rope sterling silver chain and black velvet gift box Ammolite has the flash of opal with a lot of reds, yellows , blues and greens, The colors change as the light hits the stone at different angles. Ammolite is also a fossil! 70 million years ago, sharing our planet with the dinosaurs, there lived a predecessor to the squid. Equipped with a hard coiled shell, the ammonite thrived in every ecological niche from deep-water bottom feeders to jet-propelled predators. Ammonite was a favored delicacy of the predatory marine reptile known as the mosasaur. Sinking its powerful teeth into the ammonite, the squid-like body would be devoured and the shell discarded to the bottom of the seas. Over the tens of millions of years that followed, the mineral-rich sediment would not only preserve the shell, but also enhance its colors into iridescent greens, reds, yellows, rare blues and violets. Found in very small deposits and only in a specific area of Western Canada, Ammolite is the Rarest Gem on Earth and will continue to increase in value as deposits are depleted. nkammolite#16
