Comments · 76 Views

Ammolite, an opal stone, bears a striking resemblance to some of the most vibrant organic gems, primarily found in the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains in North America.

The ammolite is tied with various myths and beliefs which add on to the mysterious appearance of this stone. For ancient Romans, Ammolite held significance in fortune-telling, with individuals placing it under their pillows to gain glimpses into the future. In the Middle Ages, it was known as Draconite due to its rainbow appearance reminiscent of a dragon's skin, leading people to believe that Ammonites were stolen fragments from the head or crown of dragons. Ancient Ethiopians revered Pyritized-Ammonite as sacred, reserving its use exclusively for priests, seers, and shamans.
