Citrine)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis dainty, gorgeous \u003cstrong\u003eAmetrine Heart\u003c\/strong\u003e measuring 4cm wide displays a sharp contrast between vivid violet hues and shades of glistening gold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: this piece displays some small natural pits on its otherwise smooth, polished surface. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is Ametrine Made Of?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmetrine is a form of \u003cstrong\u003eQuartz\u003c\/strong\u003e, a silicate mineral composed of silicon dioxide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003ecolourful gem\u003c\/strong\u003e is a mixture between two varieties of Quartz: purple \u003cstrong\u003eAmethyst\u003c\/strong\u003e, and golden-yellow \u003cstrong\u003eCitrine\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmetrine's unique interplay of colours is due to iron oxidising at different rates during the crystal's formation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt certain temperatures, Amethyst will form, and at others, Citrine will.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the temperature changes during the crystal's formation, parts of the crystal will become Amethyst, whilst other parts will become Citrine, leading to the stunning \u003cstrong\u003ezones of colour\u003c\/strong\u003e characteristic of Ametrine. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis beautiful gemstone also is gorgeously translucent. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere Does Ametrine Come From?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis crystal is rare: the main natural source of rough Ametrine in the world is located in the remote \u003cstrong\u003eAnahi Mine\u003c\/strong\u003e in \u003cstrong\u003eBolivia\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this reason, Ametrine is sometimes referred to as \u003cstrong\u003eBolivianite \u003c\/strong\u003e(although it is also known as \u003cstrong\u003eTrystine\u003c\/strong\u003e). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAmetrine History\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe legend of Ametrine is that in the 1700s, a Spanish Conquistador met a Bolivian princess named Anahi, whom he married.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe princess's father gifted the conquistador with a mine upon the marriage, which he named the Anahi mine after his wife. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis mine was discovered to contain what is now known as Ametrine. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gorgeous gem was thus introduced to the rest of the world when the conquistador gifted a piece of Ametrine to the Queen of Spain. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAmetrine Crystal Healing Properties\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFostering a sense of focus, energy and creativity within the user, \u003cstrong\u003ecrystal healers\u003c\/strong\u003e report this stone to be both deeply stimulating and intensely spiritual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmetrine embodies harmony between the best \u003cstrong\u003emetaphysical properties of Amethyst and Citrine\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gem provides a strong link between the spirituality of Amethyst and the earthly, elemental energy of Citrine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis link means that Ametrine is believed to ensure harmony between body, mind, and spirit. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmetrine provides clarity of mind and mental acuity, whilst allowing its user to dream big by igniting their creativity and curiosity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAmetrine Chakras\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to its combination of two gemstones, Ametrine affects a variety of chakras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCitrine\u003c\/strong\u003e elements lend Ametrine power over the \u003cstrong\u003eSolar Plexus Chakra\u003c\/strong\u003e: when used with this chakra, Ametrine can gift its user with willpower and determination. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eAmethyst\u003c\/strong\u003e elements ensure Ametrine is connected to the \u003cstrong\u003eThird Eye Chakra\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eCrown Chakra\u003c\/strong\u003e: when used with these chakras, Ametrine enables connection to one's spirituality and a powerful sense of imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of these chakras means that spiritually, Ametrine is considered to help one visualise and imagine their dreams (due to the Amethyst's powers), and then actually manifest them (thanks to the Citrine's properties of prosperity and abundance). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Hard Is Ametrine?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring 7 on the Mohs scale, this stone is relatively hard and durable and resistant to scratching, but care should still be taken not to damage the crystal surface. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo clean the crystal, simply use water and dry it afterwards with a soft cloth. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAmetrine Crystal Collections\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis beautiful stone, which has been carefully cut by artisans into a crystal heart shape, would be
