Ammolite, an opal stone, bears a striking resemblance to some of the most vibrant organic gems, primarily found in the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains in North America. “Ammolite” This visually captivating gemstone is renowned worldwide for its iridescent effect, displaying a full spectrum of colors when light reflects from various angles, rivaling opal and labradorite in terms of beauty and intensity. Due to its vibrant hues and a lustrous appearance it is often worn as the jewelry in forms of the Ammolite Ring, Ammolite Pendant, Ammolite Earrings, Ammolite Necklace and Ammolite Bracelet.
Originating from disk-shaped ammonite fossils dating back 70 million years, Ammolite stones are formed under immense tectonic pressure and heat. Skilled cutting techniques are employed to enhance their ability to emit and reflect a dazzling array of colors. Throughout history, Ammolite has evolved in meaning and symbolism. The term "Ammolite" was first used in 79 A.D. by Pliny the Elder to describe a fossilized invertebrate with a spiral shape resembling the coiled horn of a ram, originating from Ammon, the Egyptian god depicted with ram horns. Consequently, the crystal came to represent horned deities in later periods.
