Tourmaline Stewart Mine Nfs

Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada Typical of Ammolite, reds and greens predominate, and a dragon skin pattern is apparent, but there are also blues and purples on the edge of the specimen! This particularly large piece has been coated in epoxy to bring out the beautiful shine and ensure that no matter how you view it, this Ammolite REALLY lights up!! Measures 8.5x5.5x3.2cm. Priced at just 39.99!! Ammolite technically is not a mineral, but a fossil of the original Calcium Carbonate shell of the animal within. The iridescence is due to the microstructure of the Aragonite: unlike most other gems, whose colors come from light absorption, the iridescent color of Ammolite comes from interference with the light that rebounds from stacked layers of thin platelets that make up the Aragonite. The thicker the layers, the more reds and greens are produced; the thinner the layers, the more blues and violets predominate.
