Buyer's guide

Ametrine

Ametrine brings amethyst purple plus citrine yellow together in one crystal. A thoughtful cut makes the contrast the heart of the design.

Rough Ametrine specimen

Before the cut

From rough stone to custom jewelry

Ametrine forms when amethyst and citrine grow in one crystal. We design two-tone pieces that show both colors at once. Tell us if ametrine caught your eye and we will start your design.

What to look for

Color

Look for a pleasing balance of purple plus yellow, with a clear contrast between the zones.

Clarity

Fine faceted ametrine is usually eye clean. A clear face lets both colors shine.

Cut

An emerald cut often displays both colors. Designer cuts can play with the boundary between them.

Origin

The Anahí mine in Bolivia is the best-known commercial source. Ask for identification plus treatment disclosure.
