Ammolite is the fossilized mother-of-pearl of ammonites , prehistoric shells that have been extinct for millions of years, found exclusively in the Rocky Mountains of Canada, making it one of the rarest gemstones in the world. As this fossilized mother-of-pearl is thin and fragile, it is covered with a layer of quartz which helps to preserve all its beauty.

The name ammolite is a contraction of ammonite and lithos ("stone" in Greek). Ammonite, on the other hand, is named after the ancient Roman naturalist writer Pliny the Elder. He named it after the ram-headed Egyptian sun god Amun, because of its shape, which resembled the animal's horns.

This stone was used by the Native Americans of the Blackfoot tribe who used it as a sacred ornament in rites preceding the bison hunt.

In lithotherapy it is considered that ammolite arouses curiosity to discover with joy the beautiful sides of life and its diversity. Ammolite would lead to more constancy, while maintaining flexibility.

Each natural stone is unique, so it may differ from its illustration photo. Lovers of fine stones consider that it is its singularity that makes all the beauty of a gem.
