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

The first users of Ammolite were the people of the Blackfoot First Nation (Canadian aborigines). They had known Ammolite for centuries under the name Iniskim ("buffalo stone"). According to legend, Ammolites were worn as talismans when hunting. In 2004, Ammolite became the official gemstone of the province of Alberta and a "National Treasure".

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