Gemstone Description
+
This 9.89 ct Canadian ammolite displays a subtle “dragon scale” pattern with patches of green and gold iridescence over a dark natural matrix. While it presents some shimmer under direct light, its overall tone is more subdued compared to brighter specimens. A minor matte area on the surface further softens its reflectivity, lending it a rustic and organic charm.
Cut in a freeform cabochon shape and measuring 22.80 x 15.09 x 3.21 mm, this gemstone offers design flexibility for unique jewelry pieces. It is a doublet structure—natural ammolite backed for increased durability—ideal for collectors or artisans seeking an earthy, fossil-based gem with a touch of prehistoric elegance.
For connoisseurs and collectors seeking authenticity, this ammolite comes from an old-stock Canadian source purchased over a decade ago. According to the original seller, no resin coating or synthetic base was applied—only a meticulous polishing process to reveal the gem’s natural brilliance. The fossil matrix backing remains intact, highlighting the gem’s organic origin and making it a rare find in today’s market.
