This ammolite pendant is handcrafted from 14K/20 gold filled wire and an  ammolite triplet. Ammolite is the fossilized shell of an ancient sea creature and is a rare, organic gemstone. Ammolite is my favorite gemstone. No other gem comes in such a range of colors and patterns or has such vivid iridescence. I like to think of ammolite as the romance stone, because it is full of warmth, fire, life, and unexpected changes. Traditionally, ammolite is a good luck stone. It is revered as a sacred stone by the Blood Indians and it is thought to have intense energy by those that believe in the metaphysical or Feng Sui aspects. This ammolite pendant has a lovely mix of green, yellow, and orange.  I don’t think the orange and yellow are as distinct as in the pictures though.  To me it is more of a blush of varying shades of oranges on the left and bottom of the stone. 14K/20 gold filled wire is basically a tube of 14K gold with a jeweler’s wire down the center for flexibility. It wears well, does not tarnish, and has the same allergy reactions (or non-reactions) as 14K gold. Each of my ammolite pendants are "one-of-a-kind" and you are selecting the actual one you will be receiving. The chain is not included, but I do have a selection of chains if you need one. approximately 3/4" x 2" 19mm x 51mm  9 mm bail (large enough to fit omegas and many pearls)
