AMMOLITE

WHAT IS AMMOLITE:

Recognized by CIBJO, the Colored Stones Commission, in 1981, Ammolite is the latest of only three new gemstones introduced in the last 50 years and one of three organic gemstones (including amber & pearl) and has been compared to Opal.
Also known as Calcentine, Korite, Aapoak (Blackfoot for small, crawling stone), Ammonite Shell or Gem ammonite, Ammolite is the fossil shell of the Upper Cretaceous Ammonites: Placenticeras meeki, Placenticeras intercalare & Baculites compresses.
Ammolite is made of Aragonite, the same mineral that makes up Pearls. Unlike most other gem, who's color comes from light refraction, the iridescent color of Ammolite comes from interference with the light that rebounds from stacked layers of thin platelets in the aragonite. Ordered thick stacks for red gem, less ordered thinner stacks for green and unordered, very thin stacks for blue.
