Glowing red 16.87ct Ammolite

This large ammolite specimen showcases a stunning display of colors that seem to glow from all angles. The dominant shade is a fiery red that spreads across the surface, giving off an ember-like effect. The red is accompanied by a blend of oranges, golds, and yellows that create a mesmerizing whirlwind of colors with each movement. To protect the soft nature of ammolite, most cabochons receive a protective coating, and this particular piece has been coated with a two-part epoxy, providing it with a Mohs hardness rating of approximately 8 out of 10. Not only is it durable, but it can also be polished to maintain its shine.
