Ammolite is an opal-like organic gemstone found primarily along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains of North America. It is made of the fossilized shells of ammonites, which in turn are composed primarily of aragonite, the same mineral contained in nacre, with a microstructure inherited from the shell.
Ammolite is actually one of the rarest gemstones in the world. This is because it is unique to a geological deposit known as the Bearpaw Formation. Just one area is known to yield gem-quality ammolite in commercial quantities, around the St. Mary River in Southern Alberta.
