Where Amethyst Meets Citrine – A Gem from South Africa’s Volcanic Vault
Size: 99mm x 12mm x 40mm Approximately
Weight: 321 grams
This captivating Ametrine crystal plate from Riemvasmaak, Northern Cape, South Africa, boasts a stunning blend of rich purple amethyst and golden citrine tones in a sharply defined triangular formation. The surface is covered in vibrant, lustrous crystals, with some areas showcasing perfect zoning that highlights the dual nature of this unique quartz variety.
Ametrine is a rare and natural fusion of amethyst and citrine within a single crystal. This phenomenon occurs when iron within the crystal is exposed to varying temperatures during growth—oxidizing to create citrine and remaining unoxidized to form amethyst. The result is a breathtaking dual-colored quartz that is as scientifically fascinating as it is visually stunning.
The Riemvasmaak region is known for producing some of the finest fluorite and quartz specimens in Africa. Formed through ancient volcanic and hydrothermal activity, the area’s extreme geological conditions have given rise to unique and collectible mineral specimens like this Ametrine.
An excellent addition to any mineral collection, this specimen embodies rarity, geological history, and natural artistry.
