Description
These colorful ammolite mosaic cabochon's are all the best parts of ammolite shells fused together into one piece.
Ammolite is an opal-like organic gemstone made of the fossilized shells of ammonites, a group of extinct marine mollusc animals. This organic gemstone has a dazzling range of colors and patterns and is highly desired for freeform natural cabochons and assembled jewelry pieces.
It is found primarily along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains of North America in the Bearpaw Formation that extends from Alberta to Saskatchewan in Canada and south to Montana in the USA.
Ammolite can come in any color in the rainbow but most are green and red. Blue and violet are rare and, typically, more valuable.
Ammonite was named after the Ancient Egyptian god Amun, who was represented with ram’s horns.
hardness: 3.5-5.5 transparency: opaque, thin sheets used in assembled stones may be translucent to transparent luster: vitreous to resinous refractive index: 1.520-1.670 As ammolite is rare, no two are alike, you will receive a similar, but not exact piece.

Denali Glacier Landing Expedition
Walk on the massive Yanert Glacier with views of the spectacular and vast Alaska landscape! Experience the delight of standing upon the ancient Yanert Glacier on Denali's original glacier landing! Fed from the precipice of Mt. Deborah, which towers over the glacial valley in which you'll land, explored primarily by TEMSCO Denali, we invite you to truly encounter the great Alaskan Wilderness. Your tour will begin at our private heliport. From take-off, you'll soar over the rolling hills and sharp, jagged peaks of the Alaskan Backcountry as you travel up the currents of the glacially-fed Yanert River with your experienced pilot as your guide of the area. And, be sure to keep an eye out for caribou, moose, bear, and dall sheep on the way. Upon landing on the glacier, you will be free to roam the icy terrain. Have a drink of the freshest water this earth has to offer. Take home an ancient rock emerged from the crevices of the massive ice moraines. But, most importantly take it all in. Let your mind capture the imagery a camera never could. See the perfect shades of blue, wonder at the towering walls of the mountain surrounding you, and fall in love with Alaska the way it was meant to be seen.
