Ametrine Tumbled Chips - 5-8 mm
Product Description
These Ametrine Chips are small tumbled pieces showing the stone's natural blend of purple amethyst and yellow citrine, sometimes within a single chip. The lightly polished chips are a loose, unstrung form suited to crystal grids, resin and jewellery craft, pouches, and decorative fills.
Ametrine is traditionally valued for combining the qualities of amethyst and citrine, drawing on clear thinking and focus together with drive and abundance. Loose chips like these are often placed in grids and intention layouts, added to craft and resin projects, or carried in pouches. Their two-tone colour makes them a distinctive material for balanced, purposeful work.
As a natural quartz, each chip varies in the balance of purple and yellow across the mix, so no two are the same.

Geological Information
Ametrine is a naturally bicoloured quartz, silicon dioxide with a hardness of 7, in which purple amethyst and yellow citrine colour zones occur within the same crystal. The two colours arise from temperature variation during formation affecting the oxidation state of trace iron in different growth sectors, and natural material shows a gradual transition between the zones. It comes almost exclusively from the Anahi mine in Bolivia, which has been worked since the seventeenth century and remains the world's primary commercial source.
AuturaSol Standard
Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance. If you have any questions about a piece before completing your purchase, we're always here to help. Where authenticity meets beauty, we tell you exactly what you're holding.
Care Note
The amethyst portion of Ametrine can fade with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store or display these chips away from strong, direct sun to preserve the purple colour.
