KORITE at the 2025 Tucson Gem, Mineral & Fossil Show
The 2025 Tucson Gem, Mineral & Fossil Show has wrapped up, marking an extraordinary two weeks for KORITE and its celebrated Ammolite gemstones. As one of the most anticipated events in the gemstone and fossil world, the show brings together collectors, enthusiasts, and industry professionals from across the globe. KORITE had the honour of presenting Ammolite, Alberta’s official gemstone, and showcasing its natural beauty and significance at an event that highlights the world’s most remarkable minerals and fossils.
This year marks KORITE’s first Tucson show under the new joint ownership of Beth and Tracy Day Chief, alongside President Amarjeet Grewal. Their leadership signifies not just a renewal of KORITE’s legacy but also a bold, forward-thinking approach to expanding Ammolite's global presence.
We deeply appreciate everyone who visited us to explore the wonder of KORITE’s offerings. We took the opportunity to focus on strengthening existing relationships while educating new audiences about the history, significance, and rarity of Canadian Ammonite and Ammolite. Visitors admired the brilliance of museum-quality Ammonites, each preserving nature’s most stunning colour displays for over 71 million years.
Whether exploring rare Canadian Ammonites, reveling in the beauty of Ammolite gemstones, or searching for a one-of-a-kind jewellery piece, every conversation highlights why this extraordinary fossil and gemstone continues to fascinate collectors and aficionados alike.
Connecting with the Industry
Beyond the show floor, Amarjeet Grewal participated in some of the industry’s most prestigious events. From the Night at the Museum hosted by the GIA Alumni Collective to the AGTA (American Gem Trade Association) Spectrum Awards and the ICA (International Colored Gemstone Association) Women’s Breakfast, these gatherings provide invaluable opportunities to connect with like-minded professionals.
Amarjeet also attended WJA (Women’s Jewelry Association) New York Metro’s Chat & Chill and the AGS (American Gem Society) Young Titleholders and AGS Community events, where conversations spark innovative ideas, new collaborations, and lasting connections.
These moments highlight the importance of community and collaboration in advancing Ammolite’s global presence. KORITE’s leadership isn’t only about engaging with industry leaders—it’s about fostering partnerships based on trust, shared values, and a deep commitment to sustainability.
For Amarjeet, these connections are key to driving innovation, ensuring KORITE stays at the forefront of industry trends, and reinforcing its reputation as a leader in responsibly sourced Ammolite gemstones.

Rising Interest in Ethically Sourced Gemstones
At Tucson, we saw a growing appreciation for Ammolite’s vibrant color and the energy it brings to jewellery designs. But what truly resonates with collectors and designers alike is KORITE’s unwavering commitment to ethical sourcing. As demand for ethically sourced gemstones surges, consumers are increasingly focused on knowing the journey their gems take—from the mine to market.
Understanding KORITE’s ethical mine-to-market process is crucial in differentiating genuine, high-quality Ammolite from unverified sources. As a world leader in Ammolite, we take responsibility for setting the industry standard in sourcing and craftsmanship. Every Ammolite gemstone comes from a transparent, ethical supply chain, giving consumers confidence in its authenticity and value.
