 AMETRINE

Ametrine is a naturally occurring gemstone where the crystal has changed colour during growing.  It is half Citrine (yellow) and half Amethyst (purple).

 This is a beautiful emerald cut Ametrine, $70 12x20mm.

 

 

Citrine is the name for the yellow variety of Quartz.  Vivid yellow is rare in nature and so it is created by heat treating pale Amethyst.  It has a hardness of 7 so should be treated carefully in rings and for storage.
It goes beautifully with yellow gold, bringing out the rich yellow colour.
Other varieties of quartz I have featured so far: Amethyst and Green Quartz.
Find out more about Citrine on the GIA website.
