Ametrine

AMERTRINE - Atlantis Institute Crystals Encyclopedia

Origin

Ametrine is a crystal of primary formation which means it was formed from molten magma. This usually happens in cavities in volcanoes where the combination of chemistry and structural arrangements of mineral deposits, atoms and substances pass from gas or liquid into a solid-state or by means of going out of solution by precipitation or evaporation. Ametrine is a silicate mine

Alexandrite

ALEXANDRITE - Atlantis Institute Crystals Encyclopedia

Origin

Alexandrite is an extremely rare gemstone initially discovered in the Sanarka River in Russia's southern Ural Mountains. The chemical composition exhibits Chrysoberyl's variants consisting of a chrysoberyl cat's eye and transparent Chrysoberyl, yet has chromium as an impurity along with iron and titanium, which accounts for its distinctive ability to change colour. The only type o

Angelite - This is our research and findings on this magical mineral.

Origin

Angelite is a sulfate mineral of soft blue Anhydrite. Sulfides have a sulfur atom surrounded by four oxygen atoms that form a square. Aside from Gypsum and Baryte, the main Sulfide types, the rest are increasingly rare, including Anhydrite.

When Gypsum loses water, it turns into Anhydrite, usually f

Amethyst

AMETHYST – Atlantis Institute Crystal Encyclopedia

Origin

Amethyst is a primary crystal formation created when the molten magma from volcanic explosions colls and forms into igneous rock. This usually happens in cavities in volcanoes where the combination of chemistry and structural arrangements of mineral deposits, atoms and substances pass from gas or liquid into a solid-state or by means of going out of solution by precipitation or evaporati

Amazonite

AMAZONITE - Atlantis Institute Crystals Encyclopedia

Origin

A subdivision of Feldspar is Alkali Feldspar which is typically rich in potassium, and from this evolves the Microcline type, which is mainly white or pale yellow. In rare cases, the Microcline may appear a blue | or green colour, which is then termed the semi-precious stone, Amazonite. Amazonite is created in sedimentary and metamorphic rocks when potassium-rich hot silica acid cha
