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
