Jewel of the day: Korite Ammolite Canada 150 Pin

Happy 150th birthday, Canada! You’re looking good for being such a grande dame. It wouldn’t be a proper birthday without a piece of commemorative jewelry and Korite is one of he firms selected by the Government of Canada to produce pieces. This pin shows the official maple leaf logo developed for the occasion, set with ammolite, a rare stone found in Canada. The ammolite stone comes from the aragonite shell material found on two species of extinct ammonite fossils (Placenticeras meeki and Placenticeras intercalare).

This piece is set in silver plate, and sells for CDN$79.95.
