Ammolite is a gemstone create from the shell of a fossilized sea creature that existed over 65 million years ago called an ammonite. Ammolite is found exclusively in southern Alberta Canada, and occasionally in small parts of Montana.

The name Garnet is derived from the Latin granatum, meaning pomegranate and referring to its deep red coloured seeds. Garnet has been used in jewellery since ancient times and was thought to have great curative powers, protecting the wearer from harm. It is believed that garnet energises the emotions, promoting confidence and strength of character.

Garnet is also the birthstone for January, symbolising eternity and truth.

Citrine is a variety of quartz. In ancient times it was believed to strengthen the intellect while in modern spiritual healing it is thought to fortify the nerves, aid digestion and encourage self-confidence.

Citrine is one of two traditional birthstones for the month of November, the other being Topaz.
