Gemstone Dictionary
I thought it would be a great idea to start a dictionary of all the different gemstones I use in jewellery making. I want to show not only the geological information but also to share the meta physical properties of the stones. All gemstones have vibrational qualities known to assist, protect and help guide us in this journey called life. I will try to do one blog per month starting with the letters of the alphabet. Here is the 1st Gem, Ametrine.

Ametrine
Ametrine is also known by the name trystine and the trade name bolivianite. Almost all gem quality ametrine is mined from a single site in Bolivia.
It is a naturally occurring type of quartz with a mixture of both amethyst and Citrine being the zones of purple and yellow. Differing oxidation states of iron create the colour zones. Citrine contains oxidised iron while amethyst contains unoxidized iron.
Non-commercial deposits of ametrine have also been found in the United States, Canada, India, and Mozambique.
Meta Physical Properties
Ametrine combines the properties of Amethyst and Citrine powerfully. This stone can bring insight into the cause of long standing disease, connecting the physical realm with higher consciousness.
Ametrine is useful in meditation, bringing greater focus by clearing the mind of stress and tension. It can help one enter the state of astral travel and protects against psychic attack.
Ametrine supports connectivity and overcomes prejudice by showing how we are all linked. The stone stimulates creativity allowing us to take control of our lives. Ametrine brings mental clarity, finds solutions to problems, strengthens concentration to think things through and brings creative solutions.
Ametrine can release emotional blockages and negative programming by bringing insight to the underlying causes of emotional distress.
Ametrine is a powerful cleanser which dispels negativity from the aura and toxins from the body. It is a blood cleanser which strengthens the immune system and oxygenates the body.
It helps to heal chronic fatigue syndrome(CFS), depression, ulcers, gastric problems, tension headaches and stress related conditions. “It releases blockages in the physical, emotional and mental subtle bodies”.- (Judy Hall -The Crystal Bible ,58)
