Awakening the natural brilliance of Ammolite, we celebrate one of the world’s rarest, most prized and deeply powerful natural gems.
Though Ammolite has been millions of years in the making, it has recently emerged as one of the most colourful and rarest gemstones in the world. Mysterious, new-found, and distinct, the gemstone sparks interest with its natural artistry and expressiveness in colour.
At Iniskim, we are paving the way with new paths to introduce Canadian Ammolite for sale globally and share its uniquity. Deemed as Canada’s national treasure, and the “Sleeping Beauty of the Gemstone World” (Discovery Channel), the breathtaking gemstone has a presence unmatched by any other.
Colour, brilliance and clarity are paramount to appreciate the quality of Ammolite. We believe offering premium Ammolite gemstones for sale and being transparent about our grading system means consistency and understanding for every person. When a stone exhibits the full-colour spectrum, especially blue and violet or purple, they are the most sought-after.

AA (Extra Fine), has slightly lower brilliance at a high grade, and with fine matrix lines possibly present.

The rarity of gemstone-grade Ammolite is highly coveted as it exists only in one place on Earth and has a limited supply within our lifetime. It is uniquely found in the Bearpaw Formation in Southern Alberta, Canada. No other Ammolites in the world replicate the vibrancy and iridescence of our Canadian gemstone. This limited supply makes our Canadian ammolite for sale an exclusive offering.
Unique to Ammolite, the gemstone consists of hundreds of thin, iridescent layers composed mostly of the mineral aragonite. Each thin aragonite platelet acts like a tiny prism allowing for a kaleidoscope of colour.
The colours of Ammolite shine through from refraction of light, playing harmoniously with the iridescent layers. No other coloured gemstone shares this characteristic.
