SOLD IN BEVERLY HILLS FOR USD $220,000
WORLD-CLASS GEM AMMOLITE AMMONITE
Placenticeras meeki
Cretaceous
Bearpaw Formation, Southern Alberta, Canada
This is surely one of the largest and most beautiful of all fossils.
Gem ammolite ammonites are found in only a small area of North America
and are amongst the most sought-after of all fossils. The shimmering
iridescent colors were naturally created from the ammonites nacreous
shell, through the combination of millions of years of compression and
the mineralization of iron, copper and silica which precipitated from
volcanic ash; the resulting gemstone is known as Ammolite, and can be
found only in this locality in southern Alberta. Unlike other
gemstones, whose brilliance is caused by light reflected from the
surface, the shimmering and ever-changing colors of ammolite are the
result of light refracting through and rebounding from thin platelets
of aragonite, the primary constituent of the ammonite's shell. The
usual colors are all present - fiery red, flashing green, glittering
gold - but in addition this incredible specimen exhibits large areas of
the much rarer blue and purple flashes that fill out the rainbow
spectrum in the most scarce and most desirable examples. Specimens of
these ammonites over 24 inches wide are considered unusually large;
with its thick girth, excellent ammolite coverage, and full range of
colors, and at an incredible 31 1/2 inches across, this is not only one
of the most stupendous examples ever to be offered for sale, but one of the
finest to be found anywhere in the world. A smaller example, on display
in the American Museum of Natural History in New York, is commonly
described in the press as "priceless"; this one therefore must surely
be one of the very greatest prizes the fossil collector could hope to
obtain.

After receiving our order we had to write and tell you that in 14 years of dealing in semi precious gemstones, we have never experienced the combination of price, selection and service that you have provided.
Please keep up the great work as we will be ordering often.
Thank you for the free gemstone it is very much appreciated but certainly not necessary.

I received my gems today and am very pleased with them. Excellent
craftsmanship and wonderful color. They are better than the
online photos. Thank you.
I also wanted you to know that
there were a set of earrings included in the order that was not on the

will gladly return them to you.
