The presence of two beautiful gems –– amethyst and citrine –– in one gem is incredibly rare. So rare that the fused gemstone known as ametrine can only be found one place on Earth: the Anahi mine in southeastern Bolivia.
Legend has it that a Spanish conquistador discovered the mine’s location in the 1600s and presented several specimens to his queen. The mine had been given to him as a dowry when he married a native princess named Anahi. After that, the mine was lost for more than three centuries. Rediscovered in the 1960s, the mine’s ametrine soon reappeared on the market. Today, the mine — which is named after the legendary princess — is the sole source of this rare gemstone.
This necklace celebrates the sublime beauty of ametrine with 5 carats of perfectly-faceted emerald-cut splendor set in 14k white gold. Ametrine’s colors blend, combine and contrast uniquely in each gem, ensuring that you are guaranteed a gem unlike any other in the world. Absolutely perfect for celebrating a one-of-a-kind love.
