Ametryn

Properties of ametryn

Ametrine is a gemstone characterized by a unique coloration that combines yellow and purple. This coloration comes from the fact that ametrine's main component is the contraction of citrine minerals (yellow) and amethyst minerals (purple).
Ametrine has a rhombohedral crystal system. Its density is 2.65 and its hardness is 7 on the Mohs scale.

Ametrine comes primarily from the Anahí mine in Bolivia, which is the world's largest producer of this stone. Other deposits exist, mainly in Brazil and Uruguay.

History of ametrine

Ametryn was first introduced to the West by the conquerors who had donated it to the Queen of Spain.

The name ametrine comes from the combination of the first two syllables of the word amethyst and the last two syllables of the name citrine.

Today, the use of ametrine in jewelry is quite recent. The stone's commercial success really began in the 1980s and continues to grow to this day.
