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 only type o

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.

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
