CAGA — Canadian Ammolite Gemstone Association
Protecting, Promoting, and Preserving Canada’s Official Gemstone
The Canadian Ammolite Gemstone Association is dedicated to supporting the ammolite industry through education, ethical disclosure, responsible trade practices, and public awareness.
Ammolite is one of the rarest gemstones in the world and is found primarily in Southern Alberta, Canada. Formed from fossilized ammonites, it carries both geological history and vibrant natural beauty. CAGA exists to help collectors, jewellers, miners, cutters, sellers, and enthusiasts better understand, promote, and protect this remarkable Canadian gemstone.
