    Crystal System...

    Ametrine has a Trigonal crystal system and is in the mineral class of Oxide in the Quartz group. It is a unique crystal that unites the Amethyst and Citrine color zones clearly defined and separated within the crystal. Ametrine is formed hydrothermally from silicic acid solutions that contain iron.

    To my knowledge, the world's only source of this bicolored natural quartz is the Anahi Mine located in the jungles of Bolivia. Orinally they were secretly smuggled across the border to Brazil and sold as Brazilian products. In 1989 the rghts to the mine were sold, the Bolivian government changed, and since then these collectible gems became available on the domestic marketplace.

    Zodiac Affinity...
    Ametrine has a special affinity with Libra but is beneficial to all signs. Since Ametrine is a combination of Amethyst and Citrine it has the planetary associations of both crystals.

    Folklore...
    Relatively new to the metaphysical world, and because it is only found in one place in the world, there is not any reliable folklore to relate with this one.

    Application...
    Ametrine is best used when worn or placed directly on the body for long periods of time. When used during meditation the mind is strengthened by laying a crystal on the Solar Plexus and Crown Chakras to fortify our spiritual, mental and physical planes.
