Rare Canadian Fossil Gemstone Earrings Since 2005
Ammolite ranks 3.5 to 4.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it softer than most gemstones. This delicate nature means ammolite requires protective settings and mindful wear. Our sterling silver earring designs account for this, securing each stone while allowing full visibility of its color spectrum. The gem displays different hues depending on viewing angle and light source. Commercial ammolite comes from a single source: the Bearpaw Formation in southern Alberta. Indigenous Blackfoot peoples have valued these iridescent fossils for centuries, calling them "iniskim" or buffalo stones. Modern mining began in the 1980s, and ammolite received official gemstone status in 1981 from the World Jewellery Confederation. SilverRush Style has offered natural stone jewelry since 2005.
