Incredible actual fossils called Ammonites, inlaid with Ammolite (another fossil originating in Canada) and set in sterling silver with a textured and oxidized border, these earrings measure 1" x 3/4" wide. The Ammolite catches the light and changes color, showing green, purple, orange and red flashes. I've chosen a textured border for these earrings as I think it compliments the ancient fossil theme of these unique earrings. Perfect for a history lover or nature enthusiast!

Ammonites were sea creatures that were related to modern day squids and octopuses. One of the main differences is that they lived inside of a shell. Their shell was made from aragonite which is the same substance that pearls are made of. As they grew larger, they added chambers and the empty chambers helped them float. They were very common during the age of the dinosaur, about 425 million years ago. They died out and became extinct 66 million years ago.

Ammolite is an opal like material found along the Eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains, in Alberta, Canada. It is a very rare substance, as it is unique to only one location worldwide. It is the fossilized and mineralized material formed from Ammonites.
