Ametrine (natural bi-color Quartz)

Item Description

Ametrine is a unique natural bi-colore variety of Quartz. The best stones come from the Anahi Mine in the eastern Bolivian jungle. The two separate individual colors are naturally intergrown within the crystals to form an alternating "radiation" pattern of purple and yellow triangles when viewed down the c axis. The two colors are oriented based upon their position inside the crystal to create the famous bicolor gemstones. This particular gem has an "Emerald" cut with a 80/20 yellow to purple ratio along with nearly eye clean clarity. This is a truly beautiful stone and when Ametrine is well cut, it looks amazing. It has come to my attention that the mine is no longer in production of this material and the market has quickly "dried up". Don't miss this opportunity to own a unique, colorful, naturally occurring/untreated gemstone.
