The ammolite:
Large at 18x13mm this pendant has all the colors of a wildfire including the green of the trees aflame.
The setting:
An elegant gallery frame setting in Argentium sterling silver.
Argentium silver is a brand of modern tarnish-resistant silver alloys, containing either 93.5% or 96% silver. Argentium alloys replace some of the copper in the traditional sterling silver alloy (92.5% silver + 7.5% copper) with the metalloid germanium.Because of its high silver content it is still classified as sterling silver.
All the looks of white gold without the heavy price.
A thoughtful jewelry gift for wife?— wife’s birthday gift?--anniversary gift?— or pamper yourself?
Not likely any one in your circle will have anything like this or even be able to identify the gem--Ammolite is that rare---many have yet to see it! It is often seen as cruise ship jewelry at astonishingly high prices especially on the Caribbean,Mexico and Alaskan runs.
Ammolite in good quality is one of the rarest gems in the world.It has been compared favourably for its brilliant colors with black opal from Australia--and at a far more reasonable price point too.
It is found only in one small area in Alberta Canada and is widely recognized as the most colorful of Canadian gemstones.
Only a small percentage is top gem quality.No other useful deposits of gem grade ammolite is known to exist—so when supplies are exhausted there will be no more—which is why demand and prices are increasing.
Each ammolite is like a finger print. As unique as its owner.They often come with marks of 80 million years underground in the way of stress fissures in the gem material which simply add to their uniqueness.
Practitioners of the ancient practice of Feng Shui call it the “Seven Color Prosperity Stone” and the most important stone discovered in centuries.They believe that health and prosperity are transferred from ammolite to its owner/wearer. Ammmolite Feng Shui is believed to be especially beneficial
