What Is Ametrine?
Ametrine is a naturally occurring crystal that combines two Quartz varieties—Amethyst and Citrine—in one stunning stone. You’ll usually see a distinct blend of purple and golden-yellow hues within a single crystal, creating a natural gradient of calm and energy.
⚡ Quick Answer
Ametrine is a natural bicolor quartz that is part amethyst and part citrine, famously mined at the Anahí Mine in Bolivia. In the crystal community it is said to combine the calm of amethyst with the energy of citrine, and it is linked to the crown and solar plexus chakras. Note that much ametrine on the market is heat-treated. Scroll down for its meaning, sourcing, and how to use it.
This color zoning isn’t dyed or fused—it’s a result of differing oxidation states of iron within the crystal, caused by variations in temperature during formation.
Translation? Nature is a master of multitasking.
Where Does Ametrine Come From?
Almost all natural Ametrine on the market comes from one main source: the Anahí Mine in Bolivia, which has been producing this rare bi-colored Quartz for centuries. The mine was reportedly discovered by a Spanish conquistador in the 1600s—and named after his Indigenous bride, Anahí, who gifted him the stone.
At Rare Earth Gallery, we carry polished Ametrine points, spheres, and jewelry-grade pieces with rich color zoning—each handpicked for clarity, color balance, and character.
What Makes Ametrine Special?
It’s rare to find two distinct crystal energies so clearly combined in a single natural stone. Ametrine bridges the properties of both Amethyst and Citrine, which makes it a favorite for collectors and anyone seeking balance.
