Red Ammolite
At first glance, a beautiful red ammonite in warm chocolate tones, closer inspection reveals luminescent reds and hints of orange yellow and green.
Ammolite, among the rarest gems formed under unique geological processes when ammonites fossilize. Ammolite is unique to Alberta, northeast of the Rocky Mountains. Named as “Ammon’s Horns,” for the ancient Egyptian god of life and procreation known for his ram horns, ammonites have been treasured by cultures around the world for thousands of years. Ammonites are extinct cephalopod mollusks, equally beautiful and important to the study of geology and paleontology. Ammolite ammonites are among the most prized for their vivid color and exceptional beauty.
Light plays of this exquisite, skillfully prepared, 21-inch ammonite revealing the treasured ammolite. Artfully displayed on a custom, floating, iron stand, this witness to the past graces any décor with Nature’s beauty.
