Well done documentary on Ammolite! I'm a life-long rockhound. Ammolite has always been a favorite! I mean, you combine a fossil with a gemstone, how could it not be? However, the Native American story of the buffalo stone and it's significance for them was truly fascinating and my favorite part of this video! I am so happy to see that the local tribe is able to still be blessed by Spirit through this sacred stone. May it always be so.

Love this, Brought tears to my eyes. I love this gem so much that I got one as my engagement ring to propose with. Nothing has been more beautiful to me than Ammolite.

Have a beautiful fossil and rough/cab of ammolite; it is such a beautiful stone that has both prehistoric and native history to it. I’d absolutely hope to get a nice Ammolite fossil from Canada someday

Very interesting video👍These ammonites with ammolite are varnished and polished? Or ammolite is polished without pre-lacquering?

Does anyone know WHY these specific ammonite fossils are multicoloured? Like a molecular/geological explanation?

Suspected heat and pressure on certain species shells unique to a specific area. I live there and have collected a couple pieces.

Awesome gemstone but too fragile 😋

@shikarisahib6054 4 жыл бұрын

Only fragile in its raw state. When treated and made into a triplet with a hard quartz cap you have a durable gemstone for use in jewelry.
