These gorgeous high quality clear ametrine nuggets are a blend of amethyst and citrine that occurs naturally in the same crystal The nuggets vary in size and shape but are around 10 mm wide by 18 mm long. I have made them into two strands (20 1/2” and 22’ long) so the the shorter strand nestles inside the longer strand. The ametrine nuggets are interspersed with small faceted amethyst beads. to give a bit of sparkle. The nuggets are totally clear without any inclusions. The necklace is finished with a larger 18k gold vermeil clasp. This necklace is a beautiful statment piece that because of the two colors will go with many things.
Ametrine occurs when amethyst and citrine gemstones are found naturally in the same crystal of quartz. These beautiful and unusual bi-color yellow and purple quartz gemstones have been mined in Bolivia since the seventeenth century.
