Description

An opalescent Ammolite Ammonite from Alberta, Canada. Full iridescent color palette from red to green and blue to gold.

Ammolite is the rare opalescent variety of ammonite shells from the Bearpaw Formation in Alberta. The original aragonite shell of Cretaceous ammonites (approximately 70 million years ago) was transformed into an iridescent layer by geological pressure and temperature conditions.

The opalescent colors are created by light diffraction on microscopic layer structures. Ammolite is recognized as an official gemstone and belongs to the premium gemological league.

The Bearpaw deposits are the world's only commercial source of Ammolite. Gallery dimension over the full shell surface.

A Canadian museum-worthy collector's item with documented Bearpaw Cretaceous provenance and full color iridescence.

Origin & values

Unsere Fossilien stammen aus Fundstätten, mit denen wir seit Jahren zusammenarbeiten. Jedes Stück wird behutsam geborgen und in Handarbeit präpariert.

Die Menschen, die diese Arbeit machen, werden fair entlohnt. Wo ein Fund herkommt und wie er ans Tageslicht kam, lässt sich für jedes Stück nachvollziehen.

Wie das vor Ort aussieht, zeigen wir in einem Film, der bei uns im Museum läuft.
