is said that it was formed over 65 million years ago and is found all over the
world. Although the largest deposit of Ammonite is found in the river systems
of Alberta, Canada.

‘Buffalo or Inskin Gemstone’. Ancient Indian myth tells a story of a woman who
gained fortune in life when she discovered the gemstone.

iridescence and multi color play of Ammolite. The spectrum of colors is likened
to opals.

rarely round and never faceted due to its material. It can be found as a
doublet to support the backing for strength, although it doesn’t necessarily mean
it’s a lesser cheaper stone.
