Ametrine is a stunning and unique variety of quartz that exhibits two distinct colours within the same crystal: the purple of Amethyst and the yellow of Citrine. This natural colour zoning occurs due to a temperature gradient during the crystal's formation, leading to different oxidation states of iron within the quartz structure. The best quality stones show a sharp, vibrant contrast between the violet and golden colours.
Ametrine is known as the "Stone of Harmony and Synthesis." It powerfully merges the spiritual guidance of Amethyst with the manifesting and vitalizing energy of Citrine. It is excellent for balancing the mind and spirit, enhancing creativity, and transmuting negativity into pure energy. It facilitates connection between action and intuition, helping one to overcome contradictions and promote quick, thoughtful decisions.
Hardness: 7 on the Mohs scale.
Chakra: Primarily the Solar Plexus Chakra (Citrine's influence: power and manifestation) and the Crown Chakra (Amethyst's influence: spirituality and wisdom).
Zodiac Sign: Libra and Gemini (for balance and duality). It is also considered beneficial for Pisces and Leo.
Benefits: Promotes mental clarity, decision-making, and intellectual stimulation, aids in releasing blockages and dissolving negativity, enhances creativity and personal power, and is useful for stress relief and spiritual protection.
Source: Bolivia (Ametrine is most notably and traditionally sourced from the Anahi mine), Brazil.
How to use Ametrine
Place it in your home: Keep it in a workspace or office to promote concentration, clear thinking, and creativity, especially in situations that require both logic and intuition.

Wear it: As jewellery (pendants are popular due to the beautiful colour contrast) to keep its balancing and clarifying energy flowing, enhancing personal power and decision-making abilities.
Use for manifestation: Place it on your Solar Plexus Chakra while setting intentions or visualizing goals, using its combined energy to both purify your intent and power your manifestation.
