Do you love both the purple of amethyst and the sunny gold of citrine? Sometimes amethyst and citrine colors are found in the same crystal of quartz. These bi-color yellow and purple quartz gemstones are called ametrine.
With ametrine, you can have both gem colors for the price of one!
The Anahi Mine in Bolivia is the major world producer of ametrine. The mine first became famous in the seventeenth century when a Spanish conquistador received it as a dowry when he married a princess from the Ayoreos tribe named Anahi. Ametrine was introduced to Europe through the conquistador's gifts to the Spanish queen.
