    Product Description for Apx 1.90ct 10x8mm Emerald Cut Ametrine

    Ametrine occurs when amethyst and citrine are naturally found together in one piece of quartz. Ametrine, which ranks a 7 on Mohs' hardness scale, is typically rectangular cut to show the color split, but it can be cut to blend colors through the stone. The major supplier of ametrine is the Anahi Mine in Bolivia, which became famous in the 17th century when it was given as dowry to a conquistador upon marriage. It was introduced to Europe through the conquistador's gifts to the Spanish queen.

    "I took this out of the envelope and put it right back in. Yes the split is 50/50 but it is so light you can hardly tell what type of stone this is. So this one will be returned."

    "There is a pefect 50/50 split on this gem, as is most desired. The Amethyst side, however, was a very light shade of purple. Excellent cutting on the stone allows for optimum sparkle and flash. (i had 2 smaller ones from a parcel that matched up great! Now I'll have a pendant and earring set!!) Here's a bit of Ametrine lore...

    Ametrine is said to aid in meditation, relieve tension, disperse negativity and help to eliminate prejudice."
