Ametrine - GEMSTONE
 
A relative newcomer to the gem world (ametrine was discovered in Bolivia in the late ’70s), ametrine is a variety of quartz which exhibits the best aspects of both purple amethyst and yellow citrine within the same crystal.
Because its beauty lies in the coexistence of the two colors, ametrine is usually recovered in larger sizes— over five carats is most popular— which allow for the appreciation of the distinct color sections. When cut into emerald and pear shapes, this distinction is most notable. when ametrine is fashioned as a less-common brilliant round shape, its colors reflect and blend together to create a peach-like color.
As a newcomer, ametrine does not yet have folklore or historical significance attached to it as do amethyst, citrine or other gemstones. Some sources believe however, that the best aspects of amethyst and citrine lore should be attributed to ametrine since it is a combination of both these gems.
