Large sections of red, green and amber are visible all over this spectacular ammonite. The lower chambers of this ammonite were not fully recovered, and therefore this piece displays a shape unlike most Canadian ammonites. A variety of textures and surfacing also creates endless visual intrigue and draws onlookers with every glance.
Only in one small area of North America does one find this brilliant gemstone.
