Ametrine, also known as trystine or bolivianite, is amethyst and citrine combined, which are both a variety of quartz. This specific crystal is a macrocrystalline variety of quartz, which is very hard to find in nature. Amethyst is known for its vibrant purple due to the manganese inclusions, whereas citrine is a golden yellow due to the iron inclusions. Combine the two and you have a unique stone that’s able to display a purple and yellow-orange hue. And, when cut perpendicular, the crystal almost portrays a pinwheel look, displaying sectors of both purple and yellow.
Ametrine is relatively new, at least in comparison to other crystals, as it was introduced to the retail markets in the late 1970s, where it came from Bolivia, near the Brazilian border. However, well before this, Spanish conquistadors were said to discover an ametrine mine in the early 1600s, but the mine was lost in history. This very mine was named after a Princess named Anahi. It was only later it was re-discovered and the name still sticks to this day. The Anahi mine produces both amethyst, citrine as well as ametrine.

Ametrine crystal bracelet benefits
They say if you wear ametrine, it may be able to get rid of the unwanted energies in your life. Spiritualists may believe that if you hold/wear the stone, it may be able to keep you energized, relieve stress and even potentially promote healing. It is said that the stone draws power from the moon and sun, then transferring that energy into your body, giving you that energetic feeling. It may also be able to give you that strong connection to the spirit world, which is said to help you find purpose in your life.
Many believe that you can also hold the stone and then say what you no longer want in your life and how you want to replace it. To make this potentially work, you will want to hold the ametrine, name what is bad and then hold it up to the natural light while saying what you want to replace. This little exercise may work with persistence and patience.
Is ametrine valuable?
While ametrine is rare, it doesn’t mean it’s going to be expensive. In fact, ametrine is priced similarly to that of amethyst or citrine, making it a very affordable stone.
Yes, ametrine only comes from one mine in the world, but even so, it doesn’t affect the price all that much, mainly because people don’t know about it. If you were to find it on the market, you can get tumbled stones for less than $15 on average, whereas jewelry can average about $10~ per carat.
How to charge ametrine
Like most crystals, ametrine can be charged in a variety of ways.
One of the best ways is to charge it via the power of the sun. All you need to do is leave it out in the sun for no more than a few hours. The moonlight is a great option as well, especially a full moon. Keep your ametrine out overnight in this case and take it in right when the sun starts to rise.
Try to charge your crystals at least once a week, including ametrine.
