GEOGRAPHICAL

Ammonites lived in the sea, belonging to the phylum Mollusca and the class Cephalopoda. They had a ribbed spiral shell. Ammonites were close relatives of today’s cuttlefish, octopuses and squids. These spectacular looking marine animals thrived in the Paleozoic and Mesozoic Eras, which equates to approximately 408 to 65 million years ago.

Ammonites inhabited the planet for more than 300 million years – almost twice as long as dinosaurs – before disappearing in the mass extinction event more than 66 million years ago.

Opals are a broad group of stones that are composed of Cristobalite, Tridymite, a combination of both, and/or amorphous Silica. Additionally, they contain between 3-21% water within their structure.

Gem opals (also known as precious or noble opals) usually have between 6-10% water and display a play of colour due to light refraction within the stone. Whereas opals without this play of colour are known as common opals. They can be either opaque or glassy with a waxy lustre.
