This striking specimen features a glittering array of well-formed quartz crystals showcasing the distinctive dual coloration of Ametrine—a stunning mix of golden citrine and violet amethyst in a single crystal structure. This large, flat plate reveals vibrant zoning and natural crystal terminations, making it an eye-catching and highly collectible piece.
Ametrine forms when iron within quartz is exposed to differing temperatures during growth—oxidizing to form yellow citrine in warmer zones and remaining in a reduced state to create purple amethyst in cooler zones. These unique geological conditions are extremely rare, making natural Ametrine a prized find.
What sets this piece apart is its origin. Riemvasmaak, located in the Northern Cape of South Africa, is globally renowned for its spectacular fluorite and quartz varieties. The region’s geological history of hydrothermal activity and extreme temperature gradients creates ideal conditions for rare mineral formation.
This Riemvasmaak Ametrine is more than a mineral—it’s a geological story frozen in crystal.
