is ammolite valuable
Ammolite is a rare and valuable opal-like organic gemstone found primarily along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains of the United States and Canada. It is made of the fossilized shells of ammonites, which in turn are composed primarily of aragonite, the same mineral that makes up nacreous pearls.t is also much less fractured, and therefore the more valuable type of ammolite. As of 2003, Korite International had only mined 30 acres (120,000 mÂ²) of the Kainah deposit. As part of their agreement with the tribe, the company must refill areas once exhausted, and ensure the environment is not adversely affected.
