Welcome to Chameleon Ammolite Products International, the smart choice for discerning buyers of finished ammolite gemstones.

Chameleon Ammolite Products International specializes in supplying only the highest quality of finished ammolite to jewelry manufacturers, distributors, jewelry stores and collectors.

The natural, organic gemstone ammolite consists of the brilliant, intensely-hued pieces of fossilized / minerialized shell of ammonites, an ancient marine mollusk which became extinct 60-70 million years ago. These rare, gem quality pieces of opalescent agaronite [grandmother-of-pearl] display a dazzling array of color combinations when viewed from different angles. The most common colors range from red to green on a spectral scale, while blues and purples are more rare. Absolutely stunning and pleasing to any eye!

Chameleon Ammolite gemstones are selected, cut and finished by one of the world's most experienced ammolite gem cutter and lapidarist, Michael Chaykowski.  Great care is taken in the selection and capping process which results in the most brilliant and appealing ammolite available anywhere!

Chameleon Ammolite Products International [CAPI] is a company which has over 30 years of combined experience in the mining and processing of this delicate raw material to the finishing of the gemstones.  Our unique finishing process is designed to preserve and protect the delicate fossilized gem material, display its beautiful colors, and ensure a lasting finished product of the highest quality.

We offer all the standard cuts as well as custom cuts and finishing to any specification desired.  Our service is especially valuable to artisans and jewellers looking for specific shapes and sizes to compliment high end, quality international jewelry designs. CAPI Ammolite, polished and set in attractive, hand crafted gold designs, not only makes an elegant and unique special gift but provides an attractive investment for any serious collector and discerning owner of fine jewelry around the world.


"Akim", [pronounced "a geem"] is a word in the Blackfoot language that means "Honor".

A note about photos on this site:

Due to the complex range of color, iridescence and refraction in ammolite, it is very challenging to properly capture the true beauty and intricacy of an ammolite gemstone either digitally or on film.

We do our best to show the color and character of our gemstones as true as possible, but due to the static nature of a captured image and the color shifts in different monitors, we can not guarantee that any gemstone will appear exactly as depicted on this website.
