Click Here to get more information about this crystal! The staff at my new age shop, Mimosa Books & Gifts, had this to share: Ametrine is a naturally occurring combination of amethyst and citrine. Both minerals have the same chemical composition, but when exposed to high heat purple Amethyst transforms into golden citrine.
