History of Ametrine

Ametrine is a combination of amethyst and citrine, which are both a variety of quartz. Amethyst is clear quartz with the presence of manganese, making it purple. Citrine is clear quartz with the presence of iron, making it golden yellow. Quartzes (such as amethyst, citrine, ametrine and others) have been around for years and make up approximately 12% of the Earths crust.

Ametrine was not readily available on the market until the 1970s when it was discovered--or re-discovered--in Bolivia. The legends say a Spanish conquistador discovered the ametrine mine in the 1600s when he received the land after marrying a native princess named Anahi. He sent several specimens to Queen Isabella of Spain ... and then the mine was lost for centuries. When it was rediscovered, it was named after the legendary princess, whose land it once was.

Ametrine is said to be the complete balance of the properties of amethyst and citrine.

As a stone of both balance and connection, ametrine is believed to relieve tension, bring serenity and stimulate creativity, as well as balance mental stability and self-confidence. Ametrine is considered a double boost to remove toxins from the body, as both amethyst and citrine are detoxifiers.

Ametrine calms the mind by clearing stress and tension from the head, balances and soothes emotions and relieves depression, overcomes prejudice by enhancing compatibility and acceptance of others, stimulates creativity and supports taking control of ones own life, strengthens concentration, bringing clarity, and harmonizing perception and action, instigates change and eases transition, strengthens the immune system and aids the autonomic nervous system, heals physical, mental and emotional exhaustion, alleviates allergies and digestive disorders.

Geological Properties

Ametrine is a macrocrystalline variety of quartz that occurs rarely in nature.

For ametrine to occur naturally, iron impurities--combined with differing oxidation states--are subjected to varied temperatures. For ametrine to be formed in nature, temperatures need to be slightly higher on some of the surfaces, slightly cooler on others and the delicate balance of the two temperatures would need to be maintained during the crystallization of the quartz.
