- Coming Soon -
the story
behind the gemstone. How it was deposited on the bottom of the Bearpaw
Sea
and was covered with highly iron-ion charged sediments and began the 70
million
year journey that resulted in Earth's Oldest and Rarest Gemstone:
Ammolite.

The
Ammonite Placenticeras had the most complex suture
lines
of any of
it's brethren. From a straight line on the vertical axis dividing the
chambers of the animal like a wall it becomes infinitely broad as
well
as long as becomes the shell covering itself. It is a naturally
occuring
graphic demonstration of Chaos Theory that was not lost on
early
man. |

The mother-of-pearl (Aragonite) of the Ammonite was
comprised
of 20 or 30 layers. When it went through the depositional
process
of mineralization that turned into a gemstone the atoms were
realigned slightly allowing light to penetrate and diffract into it's
primary colors .
