Quartz var. Ametrine

Item Description

Most specimens from this find rarely exhibit crystal faces, however, this piece is well-crystallized, by Ametrine standards, showing a true termination, like a Quartz crystal, instead of just numerous etched faces. This facet-grade specimen of transparent Ametrine is primarily a rich amethyst color with a center stripe of citrine. The amethyst dominates more than the yellowish citrine interior. I know of no other worldwide deposit that displays these two colors of Quartz in combination like this, and which cut absolutely beautiful bi-color stones of fairly large size. This little gem weighs 36.74 grams.
