Buried deep in the dark grey shale of the Bearpaw Formation lies the brilliant geological treasure of the Canadian ammonite. Korite International, as a pioneer in the ammolite industry with globally recognized acumen for ethical sourcing, precision cutting, and elite craftsmanship, actively seeks to preserve the ancient culture and integrity of the land while sharing this rare organic gemstone with present-day enthusiasts and collectors. With a close-knit team and a vision of the future as vibrant as the pieces they create, Korite leverages over forty years of industry experience to carefully balance its mission of bringing one of Alberta’s most vibrant natural gifts into the hands of their worldwide following.
Korite focuses on ethical mining operations, sustainability, and respect for the land. Geologists and miners work hand-in-hand, excavating primarily “sheet ammolite” from the deeper “Blue Zone,” where the highest-grade material is found. Team members work closely with provincial environmental officials to ensure that once the mining pit is closed, the area is restored to its natural state to reduce the environmental impact of extraction. Ammolite from their mines is certified by the Federal Department of Canadian Heritage, demonstrating their commitment to honoring the gemstone’s ancient roots and supporting the Indigenous community.
The Korite International website provides more information about the mining process, Korite’s vision, and products. It also has a physical presence at the Tucson Gem, Mineral & Fossil Showcase and the Denver Gem & Mineral (Fall) Showcase.
