Cretaceous
Bearpaw Formation
Alberta, Canada
5.33 x 4.86 x 0.70 inches (13.53 x 12.35 x 1.77 cm)

Both fossil and gemstone, Ammolite is a colorful material from uniquely preserved shells of prehistoric Ammonites. This sizable wedge example features an amazingly colorful surface dominated by "electric" hues of green along with hints of gold as well as rare flashes of blue and purple. The irregular piece of a natural "stained glass" rock is visually stunning with an undulating and extremely colorful, slick exterior.
