History and folklore
Ametrine is a natural mix of amethyst and citrine in one crystal. Almost all of it comes from the Anahi mine in Bolivia. Local legend tells of a Spanish conquistador who married an Ayoreo princess named Anahi and received the mine as her dowry, and that some of the stones were later brought back to the Spanish court. Whether every detail is true, the stone's two colors make it a natural symbol of union and balance.
