Ammolite is the trade name for the colorful, iridescent, gem-quality fossil shells of two ammonites: Placenticeras meeki and Placenticeras intercalare. The gemstone consists of the finest aragonite platelets, which create the colorful play of colors through the interference of light.
Ammolite awakens the desire to discover secrets and to take a closer look at the things behind the things. The joy of the beautiful things in life and the diversity of existence is encouraged. Ammolite stabilizes developments that are too fast and too restless and leads to more consistency without becoming inflexible.
To protect the sensitive surface, it has been sealed with acrylic.
