The gemstone
Ametrine, like Gemini, is characterized by a dual nature. It is a harmonious
combination of amethyst and citrine that combines the healing powers of both.
Meaning:
Ametrine
is a form of Quartz that occurs naturally. The term ametrine is derived from
AMEThyst and citRINE. It is also known as trystine or bolivianite. The latter
name refers to the fact that most ametrine today is mined in Bolivia.
History:
Ametrine was discovered
or rediscovered in Bolivia in the 1970s. An Ametrine mine is said to have been
discovered during the 16th century by a Spanish conquistador after
he married princess Anahi. Queen Isabella of Spain received several specimens
of his work, and then the mine was lost for centuries. When it was found, it
was named after the legendary princess, whose former land it once occupied.
