Surrounded by engraving that rises and falls like the very breath of the universe itself, the ammolite – formed under pressure from fossilized shells encased in rock – is seemingly light as air. It reacts to the slightest movement of its coin base, dancing and flashing its multicoloured ammolite to symbolize the element of Air as it radiates a joyful energy, while also reminding us that life on Earth – past and present – wouldn’t exist without Air.
The element of Air is also represented in the engraved design that surrounds and complements the dancing ammolite. Natural light practically dances across the coin’s surface, bouncing off the incused and raised details that visually convey the movement of air –from a gentle breeze to a veritable whirlwind.
The genuine Canadian ammolite is mounted and housed in an intricate 3D frame fashioned by Canadian-owned and operated Beverly Hills Jewellers. The jewellery mount allows the ammolite to move, “dance” and flash its colour with the slightest movement of its coin base.
