Sometimes amethyst and citrine are found together.  They are both semi-precious gems in the quartz family and have the same   crystalline structure.  Different minerals in a mine in Bolivia sometimes blend to create the color combinations that characterize amethyst and citrine stones. These bi-colored gems are   called ametrine, and are cut at the seam where the mineral colorations change.  Although the rough stone comes  from Bolivia, our ametrine is all cut in Thailand, a country known for having some of the world's finest gem-cutters.  We individually select each gemstone for its   depth of color, gem quality (also known as "sparkle") and intrinsic beauty.  The Anahi Mine in Bolivia is the only mine today that is actively mining ametrine, although it may be found in other places. 

The popularity of tourmaline in the 1980s created a demand for bi-colored gemstones and as supplies began to run low, it was elevated to the status of a precious gem.The demand for bi-colored gemstones has continued since then. Today,  bi-colored ametrine is often lab-created using water, heat, pressure and minerals in a variety of ways that allow color variations in addition to the purple/yellow shades found in nature.  These ametrine gems are stunning in their beauty and are valued at prices similar to ametrine that is mined.  We carry both forms of ametrine.  Although we are not always able to determine whether an ametrine gem has been created or mined, we do test them on a gem tester to be sure they are genuine.  We individually hand-pick each stone.  They are to be treasured for the specimens of exquisite beauty and pristine faceting that they are.

  A bit of interesting history about ametrine:

  The Anahi Mine in Bolivia is the major world producer of ametrine.  The mine first became famous in the 17th century   when a Spanish conquistadore received it as a dowry when he married a princess from the Ayoreos tribe named  
  Anahi.  Ametrine was introduced to Europe by the conquistadore's gifts to the Spanish queen.

  Each stone has a special  presence and personality that defines its unique beauty.  These show-stoppers are sure
  to garner plenty of attention.  Rings are sized to fit at no additional charge.
