Ammolite Pendant Ammolite is formed from an ancient marine fossil called ammonite. Although ammonite fossils exist in other locations around the world, it is only in one isolated region of Southern Alberta, Canada, that this deposit produces the gemstone Ammolite. Seventy-one million years of tectonic pressure, heat and mineralization have resulted in the formation of this geological wonder. The supply of Ammolite is extremely limited and with only one area for mining, Ammolite truly is one of nature's rarest gems.
The color present in Ammolite is caused by light interference during refraction into the many layers of the gemstone. Each color in Ammolite represents a different layer of the gem material. So, depending on the number of fine layers in the rough, everything from one color to the full visible spectrum will be displayed. Since the play of light varies, every Ammolite gem shows a unique array of color.
