The Collector’s Dream: KORITE’s First-Ever Loose Ammolite Gemstones

This summer, KORITE proudly introduced loose Ammolite gemstones from our mine in Southern Alberta. For the first time, collectors and enthusiasts can experience Ammolite beyond finished jewellery. This launch opens new ways to enjoy one of the world’s rarest and most vibrant gemstones.

Why Ammolite Gemstones Are So Special

Ammolite is formed from ancient Ammonites that lived over 71 million years ago. Only in Southern Alberta does the nacre of these fossils transform into the iridescent, rainbow-colored gemstone that collectors treasure today. Each loose Ammolite gemstone is unique. No two pieces share the same pattern or colour spectrum. From fiery reds to greens, subtle blues, and gold, each gemstone is a fragment of history captured in colour.

A Collector’s Experience

Many of our customers aren’t just buying a gemstone — they are starting lifetime collections. One long-term KORITE collector shared:

"After discovering the beauty of Ammolite during a trip to Banff several years ago, my family and I became mesmerized. We began collecting Ammolite gemstones and hand specimens, and every piece has been from KORITE. Their selection and quality are unmatched. Every gemstone is a treasure."

Loose Ammolite gemstones let collectors build a personal collection, design their own jewellery, or simply admire the natural wonder of each stone. They are perfect for anyone who wants to create something unique and lasting.

Ammolite Hand Specimens

While loose gemstones are now our main focus, Ammolite hand specimens remain available. These polished fossils showcase the same vibrant colours as the gemstones and make stunning display pieces. They are ideal for collectors who appreciate the story behind each piece. Hand specimens sell more slowly and are at a lower price point, but they remain a beautiful way to experience Canadian Ammolite.
