[Introduction] Ammolite (Cretaceous Period, Mesozoic Era, Alberta, Canada)


Ammolite (Cretaceous Period, Mesozoic Era, Alberta, Canada)

This 35 cm ammolite from Canada displays an iridescent shine that changes with the angle of the light. Ammolite is a gemstone created from fossilized ammonite, which underwent geological processes and pressure for over 70 million years. Due to its beauty, it was officially recognized as a gemstone in 1981.


Ammolite is a rare and special fossil transformed into a gemstone.


Ammolite (Cretaceous Period, Mesozoic Era, Alberta, Canada)

Ammolite is only found in Alberta, Canada. Therefore, its extraction and trade are strictly regulated. The ammolite we carry comes with a certificate from the Alberta government, which includes an individual identification number.



Ammolite (Cretaceous Period, Mesozoic Era, Alberta, Canada)

Here is a brief explanation of how ammolite is formed:


Fossilization through geological pressure

The pressure from the Earth's layers compresses the ammonite shell, turning it into a fossil.


Mineral penetration

Minerals contained in water slowly seep into the shell, crystallizing and strengthening it. These crystals are responsible for ammolite's beautiful iridescence.


Transformation through pressure and heat

Due to tectonic movements and heat, the ammonite fossil undergoes changes, creating the iridescent layers that reflect light, forming ammolite.


In this way, ammolite is a gemstone created from ancient life forms that were fossilized and transformed over millions of years.

Cretaceous Period (Mesozoic Era)

The Cretaceous Period (approximately 145 million to 66 million years ago) was the time when dinosaurs diversified the most and dominated the Earth. Famous dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops emerged and played an important role in terrestrial ecosystems. Birds evolved for the first time, marking the evolutionary transition from dinosaurs.

In the oceans, large marine reptiles like mosasaurs and plesiosaurs ruled the top of the food chain.
