What is Ammolite?
Ammolite is one of the worlds few biogenic gemstones mined in Canada that is made of fossilized Nacre of ancient ammonites, consisting primarily of aragonite. It displays an opal-like iridescence and was recognized as an official gemstone by the World Jewellery Confederation in 1981. Commercial mining of Ammolite began in the same year, and Ammolite was also recently designated as the official gemstone of Alberta in 2022.
Ammolite Formation
Originating 71 Million years ago. The result of tectonic pressure and mineralisation formed the colorful Ammolite gemstone that is almost exclusively mined by Korite. Discovered in 1906 by the Geological Survey of Canada, Korite’s founder had heard of Ammolite and was fascinated by its history, rarity and cultural significance. Indigenous Canadians refer to Ammolite as the “Buffalo Stone”, others refer to Ammolite as the “Energy Stone”, “Spirit Stone” or “7 Color Prosperity Stone”.
Ammolite is a unique gemstone with a wide range of colors and patterns. Its iridescence is caused by the interference of light waves on the layers of aragonite, and the colors can vary from reds and greens to blues and violets.
KORITE discovers and hand cuts the Ammolite gem to maximize the bright colors that are unique to each gem. Multiple layers of the natural gemstone material create a beautiful array of color. This rare, natural expression of the spectacular gem is believed to awaken positive energy with its joyful beauty and ancient heritage. Read more about Ammolite’s significance in Feng Shui

Comment
Ammolite gemstones are said to be more beautiful than opals, and only a few people can see them due to their low production, so to speak, they are forgotten gemstones.
For this reason, the price is also in a state of oblivion from the viewpoint of its beauty and rarity, and it is not surprising that if big jewellers from all over the world start using Ammonite gemstones in their jewelleries in the future, it will be recognized worldwide and the price will soar.
The current relatively low price can be enjoyed for jewellery and can be said to ease the price increase as a tangible asset.
