Our line of jewellery includes amber, Klondike gold nugget, handcrafted beaded, handpainted mother of pearl, mammoth ivory and Ammolite, the official gemstone for the City of Lethbridge.

g

In a remote locale outside Lethbridge, the Korite International Ammolite mine, the world’s largest, is in operation, supplying 90% of the world’s Ammolite.

Extremely rare and beautiful, Ammolite's iridescent colours glow with the beauty of the rainbow. 71 million years of tectonic pressure created this gem from the fossilized remains of the shell ammonite.

A glittering addition to any jewelry collection, Ammolite's luminous qualities rival the famous black opal for colour and fire.

sEach Ammolite gem is unique in brilliance, colour and pattern. The rarest and most desirable show three or more colours and are graded AA.

 

 

The Museum Store also features amber jewellery
