Surrounded by engraving that rises and falls like the very breath of the universe itself, the ammolite formed under pressure from fossilized shells encased in rock is seemingly light as air. It reacts to the slightest movement of its coin base, dancing and flashing its multicoloured ammolite is predominantly yellow to symbolize the element of Air as it radiates a joyful energy, while also reminding us that life on Earth past and present wouldn’t exist without Air.
Ammolite is the official gemstone of Alberta. It is ethically mined from the province’s Bearpaw Geological Formation and that is the only place in the world where commercial quantities of gem quality ammolite are found.
