Ammolite The Canadian Gem




One harsh winter the Buffalo disappeared from the region where the Blackfoot Indians lived.
Young women-collecting firewood heard beautiful singing in the distance. She followed the voice and found an Ammonite stone under a Cottonwood tree.
The stone told her that it was a powerful medicine and if she would take it back to the tribe, it would provide the much-needed food for the Blackfoot Indians
She followed the instruction and the next day a large heard of buffalos where seen nearby.
From then on, the Blackfoot Indians used the stone for hunting ceremonies and as a medicine wrapped in buffalo skin.
As a Canadian, I am very proud of our gem, which is found and mined in Alberta Canada by the Korite Company. Millions of years of tectonic pressure created this brilliant gem from the fossilized remains of the Ammonite shell. Extremely rare and elegant the color of Ammolite glow with the beauty of the rainbow and it changes color as the light falls on it.
The value of Ammolite increases every year and it is not only an heirloom but also a glittering addition to any jewellery collection.
