Amethyst Crystal - Single Point /Ametrine

An Ametrine crystal from Bolivia. A quartz variety with a historically documented conquistador history, uniting purple amethyst and yellow citrine in a geometric boundary line.

Legend tells of a princess Anahí, after whom the only commercial Ametrine mine is named. Historically documented finds date back to the early 17th century.

Ametrine is a geologically unique variety of quartz. Purple amethyst and yellow citrine lie in a single crystal, separated by a sharp geometric boundary line.

The only commercially viable deposit worldwide is the Anahí mine in the Pantanal wetlands, Bolivia. According to tradition, the mine was taken over by Spanish conquistadors as a dowry from a local chief's daughter.

The two-color formation occurs in a single geode under changing temperature conditions during crystallization. It remains one of the few minerals with native polychromatism.
