Ametrine

Very Rare Power Stone

Ametrine is a rare and unusual stone which occurs in quartz when amethyst and citrine reside in the same crystal. Because the colour zoning effect is natural, no two ametrines will ever be exactly alike. Enhances universal equilibrium. Stimulates intellect, disperses negativity from the aura. Stimulates oxygenation of the body, helps recognise changes to the body, e.g. during periods of growth. An energising stone, ideal for immune system diseases.

The world's only source of this bicoloured natural quartz is the Anahi Mine located in the jungles of Bolivia. It is rumoured that the mines where first discovered by native Indians in the seventeenth century. The Bolivian government declared the land a state reserve and built a fortress near the mine entrance. Despite its remote location, ametrine (as well as natural amethyst and citrine) made its way across the border to Brazil. These goods were then sold as Brazilian products. This caused a change in the government in Bolivia in 1989. The rights to the mine were sold, and during the past decade, these collectible gems became available on the domestic marketplace.

Many believe that it contains the powers of amethyst and citrine in one stone, making it a very powerful money stone as well as an excellent path to higher psychic awareness and spiritual enlightenment.
