History of Ametrine Crystals

The discovery of Ametrine crystals can be traced back to the Anahi Mine in Bolivia during the 17th century. The Anahi Mine is still the most famous source of high quality Ametrine crystals, however, small deposits of Ametrine have also been found in other locations around the world, including Brazil, Russia, and Zambia.

The quality and size of the crystals can vary widely depending on the location of the deposit and the specific geological conditions in that area.
