Ametrine is a personal favorite of mine, as you can easily tell from some of my previous posts about it. Hailing from South America, the best quality pieces come from the Anahà mine in Bolivia. It is also sometimes referred to as Bolivianite as a geographic reference. This specific crystal features the merging of two of the world's most popular specimens: Amethist and Citrine.
At times this crystal can be difficult to come by in it's rough state, but tumbles are readily available through Etsy, EBay, and dozens of online rock and gem stores, which will feature smaller rough pieces from time to time. Tumbled, it's price is typically under $3.00 per stone. While that may seem like a lot, an investment in a few Ametrine pieces will give you the best properties of both Amethyst and Citrine, as well as provide you with a foundation for working with those two stones individually in the future.
It has been said that Ametrine helps us to focus our dreams and manifest them into reality. It is used to activate both the Solar Plexus (Citrine) and Crown (Amethyst) chakras. If you have students in your household, gifting them with a bit of Ametrine will help them with their ability to focus and study, thus retaining more information.
On a personal level, I am able to feel both the soothing and energetic aspects depending on what my specific needs are. This is a great stone to meditate with and I use it in crystal grids and elixirs.
