Meaning & history

Ametrine occurs naturally where amethyst and citrine form together within the same quartz crystal, most famously mined in Bolivia. In crystal tradition, it is associated with mental clarity, balance, and the harmonizing of opposites — many people keep it close for a sense of integrated, balanced energy that draws on both amethyst's calm and citrine's warmth. It is often linked to the Crown and Solar Plexus chakras. Pair it with pieces from our amethyst or citrine collections, since it shares qualities of both stones.

How to use it

Carry it for balanced, clear energy, hold it during meditation, or keep it on your desk where its two-tone coloring can catch the light. Its dual nature makes it a popular choice for anyone working with both calming and energizing intentions at once.

Care & cleansing

Brief rinsing under water is fine — just dry the stone afterward rather than soaking it. Like amethyst, extended direct sunlight can gradually fade its purple tones over time, so keep it out of constant strong sun. Common cleansing methods include smoke, sound, or moonlight.
