Amethyst Crystal - Single Point / Ametrine

An Ametrine crystal from Bolivia, a geologically unique bi-color quartz variety. Purple amethyst and yellow citrine are separated by a sharp geometric boundary line.

The Anahí mine is Bolivia's most important mineral deposit. Ametrine recovery is a significant economic factor in the Santa Cruz region.

The world's only commercially viable ametrine deposit is the Anahí mine in the Pantanal wetlands, Bolivia. Every crystal in the collector's market traces back to this one source.

According to historical tradition, the mine was discovered in the 17th century. The daughter of a local chieftain, named Anahí, is said to have married a Spanish conquistador and given him the mine as a dowry.
