Ametrine, also known as trystine, is a bicolor gemstone occurring when amethyst and citrine colors are found in the same crystal of quartz. The gemstone Ametrine thus contains yellow citrine and purple amethyst. It has a hardness of 7 on Mohs Scale.
Ametrine, most typically faceted in a rectangular shape with a 50/50 pairing of amethyst and citrine, is a very durable gemstone suited for a variety of jewelry uses. Ametrine can also be cut to blend the two colors so that the result is a mixture of yellow, purple, and peach tones throughout the stone. Ametrine is also popular among artistic cutters and carvers, who play with the colors, creating landscapes in the stone.
Several suppliers have indicated that the Ametrine mines have run out. Quality material is now very difficult to obtain.
The Anahi Mine in Bolivia is the major world producer of Ametrine. The mine first became famous in the seventeenth century when a Spanish conquistador received it as a dowry on marrying a princess named Anahi from the Ayoreos tribe in the seventeenth century. Ametrine was introduced to Europe through the conquistador's gifts to the Spanish queen.
