Ametrine is a rare quartz that combines amethyst (purple) and citrine (yellow). It’s valued for its unique colors, which balance energy and help with creativity, emotional clarity, and spiritual awareness. The stone forms naturally in Bolivia’s Anahí Mine, where different iron oxidation levels create the two colors—yellow in oxidized parts and purple in reduced parts.
Legend says a 17th-century Bolivian princess named Anahí gave the mine producing ametrine to her Spanish husband. The stone’s two colors symbolize unity—connecting mind and heart, and earth and spirit. It has been known locally for over 500 years and became popular in Europe after the Spanish introduced it.
This particular piece is a small ametrine turtle, about 2 inches long.
