Description

Ammolite is an extraordinary stone of organic origin, with stunning reflections mainly in orange and green.
Originated from ammonite's fossils, they have preserved a thin layer or aragonite, the material of which nacre is made, that gives to ammolite this beautiful shiny iridescence.
This characteristic is sometimes confused with labradorescence, that although displays similar colors, it is based on different mechanisms: ammolite's iridescence is an external reflection on a layer of aragonite, while labradorescence occurs on laminar layers inside the stone.
Amazing colors and reflections to give as a gift or to treasure in a personal private connection.
