Ammolite is a rare, iridescent organic gemstone formed from the fossilized shells of ancient ammonites, found commercially almost exclusively in the Bearpaw Formation of southern Alberta, Canada. Composed mainly of aragonite, it displays vibrant rainbow colors (reds, blues, greens) due to unique fossilization, making it a sought-after collector's gem, though its deposits are limited and dwindling.
