Ammolite - gemstone fossil in opal colors for your specialist trade
"Ammolite" is the trade name for the gemstone quality of a colorful, iridescent fossil shell of two ammonites: Placenticeras meeki and Placenticeras intercalare. The wholesaler Marco Schreier Mineralienhandlung GmbH offers specialist dealers Ammolite - one of the most extraordinary gemstones in the world - in many different forms. Occurring from fossilized ammonites of the genus Placenticeras, this fossil gemstone displays an intense play of colours in green, blue, yellow and red, similar to that of opal. Ammolite is ideal for high-quality mineral jewelry or decorative collector's items in upmarket specialist stores.
Occurrence in the Cretaceous period
Ammolite was formed around 70 million years ago from fossilized ammonites in what is now the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The characteristic play of colors Occurs not through the inherent color of the material or the refraction of light, but through interference, i.e. the superimposition of light waves. Depending on the thickness of the layer, the Ammolite shimmers red or green; with thinner layers, a blue or yellow play of colors occurs. This natural appearance makes each Ammolite gemstone a unique piece with an individual color distribution.
Rare quality from Canada
Ammolite in gemstone quality comes almost exclusively from Alberta, Canada. Only a small proportion of the ammonites found develop the intense play of color and are therefore suitable for jewelry purposes. This rarity makes Ammolite a special material for collectors and jewelry lovers who appreciate exceptional pieces with a history spanning 70 million years of the earth's history.
Processing and jewelry quality
Ammolite side polished pieces and cabochons are coated with a protective layer as the material is relatively sensitive. The best qualities show full-surface color play in several spectral colors. Gemstone jewelry with Ammolite appeals to customers who appreciate both natural beauty and the history of millions of years.
Range for discerning customers
At Marco Schreier Mineralienhandlung GmbH you will find Ammolite pieces and processed Ammolite jewelry - ideal for showcases or themed decorations around fossil or special gemstones.
