Given official gemstone status in 1981, Ammolite is truly a wonder of nature! The supply of Ammolite is extremely limited and with only one area for mining, Ammolite truly is one of natures rarest gems. At current production levels supplies of high grade Ammolite are expected to be completely exhausted in approximately 20 years. The colours present in Ammolite are caused by light interference during refraction into the many layers of the gemstone. Each colour in Ammolite represents a different layer of the gem material, so depending on the number of fine layers in the rough, everything from one colour to the full visible spectrum will be displayed. Since the play of light varies, every Ammolite gem shows a unique array of colour. Variations of Ammonite Mineralised Fossils simply vary in anatomical appearances. For example, the rarer Placenticeras intercalare possesses horns which are protrusions that follow the spiral of the sea creature, whereas Placenticeras meeki has a smooth and flat surface.
