Ametrine derives its inimitable color nuances due to traces of iron. In fact, all the three gemstone- Ametrine, Amethyst and Citrine derive their color due to the presence of iron. The color bands or zones in Ametrine can vary from a pastel violet to a deep purple and from a dull yellow to golden brown. These color bands are so rich, distinctive and natural that no two ametrines are ever exactly alike.

These exquisite gemstones with a striking 50/50 distribution of each color are highly in demand. Hence cutters try to emphasise on both the colours equally by giving a sharp border between the two shades. A rectangular step cut fashioned gemstone ametrine attractively presents the bicolor effect.

Alternatively cutters may fashion these stones in free form or mixed cuts so that random or deliberate blotches of amethyst and citrine are derived. These “blended ametrines” cause internal reflections of light to intermingle with the purple and golden yellow hues and yield beautiful colors like magenta and orange. Traditional oval and round cut stones with different facets and carvings are also quiet popular.
The Anahi mine in Bolivia is the only commercial source of natural gemstone ametrine. Hence, it is also sometimes known as “Bolivinate”, derived from Bolivia.

According to a legend, a Spanish conquistador discovered the mine’s location in the 1600s and presented the gem to his queen. He married a native princess Anahi (after whom the mine has been named) and it was given to him as dowry. After that, for more than three centuries the mine remained forgotten and lost. It was rediscovered in the 1960’s and that’s when Ametrine began to reappear in the gems and jewellery industry. Hence, ametrine is a relatively newer gemstone in the jewellery market.
