AMETRINE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ametrine is an unusual crystal quartz that is part amethyst and part citrine. This creates a bi-colored effect, called color zoning,The combination makes each crystal uniquely colored.Ametrine is among an elite group of gemstones that comes from only one source - the Anahi Mine located in the jungles of Bolivia. Ametrine is a relatively new stone and so has no ancient traditions connected with it.It is used by healers today and believed to be a stone that connects the spiritual qualities of amethyst with the dynamic, creative energy of citrine. It is said to bring luck, success and encourage great optimism.Most geological references state that Ametrine was first brought to the gem market in the 1970s. Except there is another story about this special crystal that dates back to the conquistadors stating a quite different story.During the 17th century, a conquistador named Don Felipe married Anakha, the princess to the Aureiros tribe of Bolivia. The mine, named Anahi for the princess, was given to him as part of her dowry. When it came time for Felipe to return to Spain, his princess bride wished to return with him. As the couple attempted to depart, angry tribesmen turned on them and murdered the young princess. The duo colored gem is said to represent the princess' two loyalties: to her husband and to her tribe.Geologists theorize that a deep vent within the Anahi mine created just the right amount of heat, flowing in just the right direction to cause one area of the forming crystals to stay "hotter" than the rest. Creating the perfect balance to form ametrines. Otherwise, these magical gems would have become Amethysts or Citrines.Only two places on the entire planet had just the right circumstances to form Ametrine Crystals. The Anahi Mine in Bolivia and the Hyderabad Mine in India. The Bolivian mine yields about 90% of ametrine being marketed today.
