Buying ammonite and ammolite fossils
Ammonites are extinct sea animals related to today's squid and nautilus. Their coiled shells are among the best known fossils, and they are a steady seller with kids, collectors and teachers. Ammolite is a gem material formed from the shell layer of certain ammonites, known for its bright, shifting colours.

How it sells
Split pairs are ideal for a fossil bowl near the till, and they make a simple hands-on item for classrooms. Ammolite specimens belong in a lit case, where the colour shows best. Ammolite is much softer than quartz, so keep it away from harder stones that could scratch it.
