Ammolite is the trade name for the gem quality of a colorful iridescent fossil shell of two ammonites: Placenticeras meeki and Placenticeras intercalare. The gemstone is composed of the finest aragonite platelets, which produce the variegated colors by interference of light.

To protect the delicate surface of the Ammolite, it was sealed with acrylic.
