Since the dawn of man's conscious awakening, when he first tried to understand the environment around him, the Ammonite has been there. Wherever man came in from the surf, out of the forests or burrows; as he crawled in, over and around this planet he found evidence of life that came before him. Myths, legends, superstitions and speculations that used the Ammonite as an Icon developed. The Ammonite was man's first Icon. The first universally recognized symbol of the complexity of life. The first philosophical statement. The first religious symbol. 

Under the Scientific Section, are details and facts. Concise and simple, with diagrams and visual explanations, this section aims to educate you on how the Upper Cretaceous Ammonite Placenticeras Meeki & Intercalare somehow morphed into a gemstone that displays the most incredible array of colors ever imagined.  

Finally, in the Artistic Section is the work of artists who use the Ammonite as a medium to interpret traditional and modern themes.  From Mary Lynn Oddmeat, a 90 year old, aboriginal artist who carves visions of her people's ancestral memories to new age jewelry, you will find it here.
