An Insight into Ammolite

Biogenic gemstones simply look stunning and Ammolite is one of them! It looks like opal at the very first glance. A small region along the St. Mary River in Alberta, Canada is the source for ammolite and accounts for global commercial production of ammolite. The beautiful ammolite gemstone consists of fossilized shells of ammonites. These ammonites are mainly made of aragonite.

This gemstone is also called by other names including aapoak, gem ammonite, korite and calcenite. Ammolite got the status of official gemstone in the year 1981. This status was given by World Jewellery Confederation (CIBJO). The commercial mining for ammolite began in the same year.

The Colors of Ammolite

The specimens of ammolite exhibit a superb iridescence of colors which resemble that of opals. These beautiful colors include red, yellow, blue, violet, indigo, green, crimson, orange and a few more. This iridescence occurs because of the microstructure of aragonite. And this is where this gemstone differs from other gems. Most of the other gems display colors because of light absorption. But ammolite creates beautiful mélange of colors when light bounce back from the piled up layers of aragonite’s slender platelets. The best part about the beauty of these colors is that they show a nearly complete range of colors that can be found in a spectrum. Some specimens of ammolite may, however, display limited hues.
